phil, thank you for responding.

would morph manager do the same thing as "zeroing all translations?"

i've gotten my stuff to load properly now (didn't notice that conforming figure was not to dropped to floor! who floats!?) so now it's just a matter of getting it all to go. one thing i am noticing right away is that the conforming clothing is tearing at the joint/seams between my groupings...is this a welding issue and if so, where do i correct it (upon import, export???)

thanks so much
