I have a short question, sometimes Ill make a pose, save it, but when I go to use the pose for the same figure it seems to come out all tilted. For example Ill make a pose of someone laying down on the ground, when I apply that pose, the person is in a vertical position, not even touching the ground. I often have to rotate in either the x or y direction to get it the body horizontal, then move it down in the y position to get it to touch the ground. Is there something I am not doing before or after? Or do I have to rotate and tilt the figure back to the spot where I want it, laying on the ground.

I think you're supposed to first turn the IK's off and then use the hip dials for rotating the body, not the body dials. At least I remember seeing an advice like this here in the Poser forum.

It's not a case of the IK - the important thing when making poses is to move the HIP (especially when you're doing combined poses or poses applying to something - e.g. the ground) and NOT the Body ... However - I've a tutorial on my site in the help-section http://schlabber.critical-depth.net/help.htm
