hi everyone - new to Poser, and getting there with most of it (just got through the joy of creating my own conforming clothing!!!!), but just having problems with imported BVH files - if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

So, I import a BVH and it runs the animation as it should. To continue the scene from the last frame, I want to use some of the standard poses then carry on with additional poses/walks etc etc - however, it seems that the BVH is not keeping the centre point in synch, so at the end, the circle that appears when you select 'Body' is not aligned to the character - this obviously makes it impossible to rotate etc as it's not rotating around the middle, and when I apply a standard pose, the character shifts to the centre of the stage - I'm thinking that I either need to need to recenter something at the end of the bvh frames but just can't seem to find how to do it or manually insert a centreofmass entry into the BVH file ? - I've tried manually moving the green point, but the circle stays put

if anyone can offer any tips would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is a really dumb question

also, as side question, is there any way of stopping camera movements being recorded ?

thanks a lot Sean
