Without more info or a pic its hard to say, so just some wild guesses and general suggestions: -Most props & characters will load at the center of the universe. If you create a scene offset from the center everything you open will typically have to be translated to the offset location of your scene. -Use your Top, Side and Front cameras (the ones that do not rotate) to tell where your objects really are in the universe. -For more predictable & precise adjustments when posing, use the dials or enter the numbers directly rather than using the trackball or moving body parts by dragging them. (*this is a biggie) -Turn off IK for the arms and legs until you understand it and know when it is helpful.
