Several of my scripts have zero figure tools. In fact if you have any of my Python scripts look there first because you may already have it.  Some have combinations that just zero the morph settings, or zero the pose but retain the magnet settings, or zero the selected actor and all of its children. There is even a "Super Zero" that zeros everything except the age of the figure :)

The zero figure button in the joint parameter pallet will not zero the translation of the hip, feet or body. Scaling will not be altered. Saving a pose will not save scaling data.

If I recall correctly V3 does not have magnets or default scaling so start with no morphs applied and do the following.

  1. With the legs IK's turned on select each foot and set all translations to zero.
  2. Turn off all IK's using Figure > Use Inverse Kinematics > deselect all
  3. Open the joint editor and click the zero figure button.
  4. Select the hip and set all translations to zero.
  5. Select the body and set all translations to zero

Save the pose including the option to save morph data. Save as "Zero Pose + Zero Morphs"
Save the pose but do not select the option to save morph data. Save as "Zero Pose Only"

You can double check that everything is truely zero by importing the V3 OBJ file with none of the import option boxes selected. It should line up with the figure exactly.

Hope this helps.
