I'm going to try and get the 'Let's make a comprehensive guide to content creation' ball rolling with this... http://www.renderosity.com/mod/freestuff/?item_id=75531   It's a short guide to sizing in Blender for Daz3D because we all know that size matters....all right, go ahead and make all the jokes...get it out of your system.  I started on a 'placer' to kick off my line of cemetery/funeral items.  This is the gizmo that sites over a gravesite and when operated, lowers the coffin into the grave.  I'm making straps and will make a morph(s) that will lower the straps and the coffin into the grave. I learned a lot while making this thing, not the least of which was aligning stuff.  Blender has an overwhelming number of tutorials available (unlike Daz3D) and it's easy to 'Google away' any problems.
