Hi Kuroyume,

Thanks for all your comments!

I agree that what I wrote earlier was wrong. My thinking was correct, but the keyboard was moving faster than my brain! :-(

But I'm still a bit confused about the meaning of  "joint order" in Poser. I assume that it refers to the Euler angle convention, but does it also affect how the three rotations are carried out, meaning whether they are local or global? It seems to me that y local and x/z global (meaning that yRot is with respect to a local y axis while xRot and zRot are with respect to the global x and z axis) is the default in Poser, but can I change this by changing the joint order of an object?

Thanks!

Helmer
