Bobby - simply that I wasn't aware you had a hosted freestuff area! I'll bear that in mind in the future (is it okay to upload freestuff to your hosted area and the other site as well?)
But also, since a large proportion of the free stuff I've downloaded in the past has been from the other site, it seemed a fair place for my first upload.

Laurie - the dials 'problem' only occurs in D|S for the released model (see the known issues in the readme).
The dials I'm referring to aren't morphs, they're just the basic XYZ scale, rotate, and translate dials on the Base, Cradle and Globe parts. Other than the 'Rotate Cradle' (Z rotate on the Cradle part) and 'Spin Globe' (Y rotate on the Globe part) they are unnecessary.
It's not really a big problem though, and it just means that if you accidentally spin the wrong dial the globe breaks apart! Simple for the end user to fix, just reset the dial you accidentally spun.

The bigger issue for Poser is the origin for the cradle rotation. In the four sample pictures the one with the grey background is a Poser render, and you'll notice the attachment point between cradle and base is wrong - the globe would topple over.
I know this is an issue to do with the origins of the various parts, but haven't solved it yet.

And it usually uses Poser 11, with units set to inches. Except when it's using Poser 6 or PP2014, or when its units are set to PNU.
