Quote - My issue is that the figure seems to want to Zero mid torso rather than the feet.  While XROT in teh Body Center fixed the rotational, not seeing where top set Y trans adjustment.  yOFFSET in parameters of Body parameters... is thsi it?

All the translations of the BODY should be set to zero. The translations of the hip should also be zero, except if, in a zeroed pose, the feet are not on the ground, in which case the yTran of the hip (or base geometry part, if it is not hip) should be adjusted to place the feet on the ground. The figure needs to be memorized (Alt+Ctrl+F) in this configuration.

I see in Phil's post, that he suggests that you place the feet on the ground by translating the BODY, rather than the hip. That's not the way I would do it. Of course I think my way is better, but then I would, wouldn't I? ;)

When saving a pose the yTran of the BODY should be zero (with Phil's method it should be at the memorized value), and the yTran of the hip (or base geometry actor, if it is not hip) should be whatever is necessary to place the feet (or lowest part) on the ground. Note that the translations of the BODY will not be saved in a normal pose, but they are none the less important when saving a pose, because they affect your perception of when the feet are on the ground.

When saving a pose, never include the "Body transformation" unless you have a very good reason for doing so, and fully understand what the affects will be!
