I'm trying to make a set of placement poses for a Poser environment, like the poses you get with the Transpond sets. When you click on a placement pose, it takes the figure to a certain spot in the set without otherwise changing the figure's pose at all. It just changes the xyz translations of the body. Very handy for putting figures exactly where you want them when you're using certain camera angles.

So here's how I'm doing it: Using one of the freebie Transpond placement poses for the Prancing Pony Inn as a template, I'm first manually moving a figure into the spot on the set that I want to make a placement pose for. The way I'm doing this is by manually adjusting the x, y, and z position of the body. Once the figure is just where I want it, I copy the x, y, and z position settings of the body, then paste them into the template placement pose file, like so:

{
version
{
number 4.0
}
actor BODY:1
{
channels
{
translateX xtran
{
keys
{
k 0 -2.853
}
}
translateY ytran
{
keys
{
k 0 15.500
}
}
translateZ ztran
{
keys
{
k 0 28.000
}
}
}
}
figure
{
}
}

The problem is that when I apply the new placement pose to a figure, it goes zooming way the heck off somewhere entirely else (in this case, when I applied the pose the coordinates the figure ended up at were x: -24.54, y: 133.33, and z: 240.86, which is nothing like the coordinates I put in the pose file.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? :-( I've been messing with this most of the day, but I just can't figure it out.
