Hi Traci and Basicwiz,
You are not alone at that one. :-)
I like to go into wire frame mode and look from the top camera.
My units in Poser are Feet.
To move to the Top is a negative number and the homes on the top which is North by the way I have built this set.
So if you want a character on the sidewalk on the north side it is about -152 on the zTran
If you wanted the character to be at the top left corner of the block you would enter -152 on the xTran
So imagine a math grid.
To the left is a negative number and to the right is a positive number.
To move up is a negative number and to move down is a positive number.
Homes 1-4 are on the North side of the block so the side walk is around -152 on the zTran
Homes 4-7 are on the East side of the grid so the sidewalk is around 152 on the xTran
Homes 7-10 are on the South side so the sidewalk is around 152 on the zTran
Homes 10-1 are on the West side and the sidewalk is around -152 on the xTran
Those numbers are good on all my city blocks now if you rotate the block you will have to figure out which home you want to be
in front of and use the same method to get in the general position.
As far as the feet are concerned the number for the top of the sidewalk is around 0.8333 on the yTran.
Those number can get you in the general area and then the spinners can take it from there instead
of having to buy a new mouse every week from trying to move and move and move.
Hope this helps.
Tom
