oh! oh oh oh!!! I think I know this!!! Ok, when you load up a poser scene, you're loading up the default.pz3 into memory, more or less. The default scene includes the lights, camera, any figure you decided to load as your default, and the GROUND. When you load a figure into that scene you load the CR2 up and it pretty much embeds it in the cr2 that's in memory. But the ground isn't saved with the figure, it's part of the pz3 but not part of the cr2. So the next time you load your figure, having arranged the point at thingy, it won't point at the ground because as far as it knows, thats not ITS ground, its some other ground. So to make this work you'd have to save the ground as part of the cr2. You could do maybe do that by saving the whole scene as a pz3 and then renaming the pz3 to cr2 and throwing it in a library--then the cr2 will also load lights and cameras and (maybe) the ground along with the character. But that might conflict with the ground in the (preloaded) scene. Since it's all original geometry you could distribute it in pz3 format and make people open the file--that would load YOUR ground instead of the default pz3's ground. mmmaybe.
