would love to offer something on that question, but not experienced enough in Poser I'm afraid would I be right in thinking then that essentially the problem is that the BVH file isn't moving the centreofmass ? - therefore when a library pose is applied, it shifts the character back to it's original position ? - is it the centreofmass that is the overall central pivot point of a character ? also, I just can't seem to find how to actually move the red circle - the manual says you can, but when I try to pick it up with the mouse it moves the Body object not the circle ? cheers Sean
