I've made some poses in Poser for V4 that I've saved. When I reapply the saved pose, V4 ends up rotated or floating a couple feet above the floor. What am I doing wrong? Is there a button I need to have pressed or depressed for the pose to save where I require it to?
Thanks for any input!!!

Check "Body tranformation" in save dialog box. Else it will use the hip coordinates

I've tried that. Same result...I went back into Poser, moved the figure into place and resaved the pose with the body transformations checked and it still ends up all caterwonky..

Correct me if I am wrong anyone but I think I've figured it out! After moving the figure where I wanted to and checked the body transformation button I saved as it Pose 1A (was originally Pose 1). It worked. The problem I was having was that I was resaving the pose as the same name and I'm guessing that Poser doesnit write over the original pose when it's loaded into the program.

Poser gives a warning if something is going to be overwritten.
If you did not receive such, you may have been saving the pose to another folder.
In that case, you would not be using the new pose when you reapplied it.

Yes, it did give me a overwrite warning. I went ahead and saved over it but it would not load with the changed pose. That was what was confusing me originally. Almost the same thing happens with props, if I resave a prop then two of the props with the same name show up ( just two different change dates). I've just gone and saved them under different names and resave themagain under the name I want. I'm not sure if anybody else has this problem, but the go around by renaming it works.

Personally when i make poses or store props.
I save them without body transformation checked, which i guess is a matter of taste, or whether the pose is very specific. But for me at least my workflow doesnt suit that, as i move the characters roughly to where i want them and would like them to stay in that area, so its very annoying when applying a new poses if you have to move them back all the time.
Then always save the poses without IK enabled as it can screw up the poses. And always make sure that IK is turned off when applying them as it can also mess things up.
For any changes to props, i always delete the old one first through poser, if i want to use the same name and just want to make changes to it.
