Is there a tutorial somewhere for how to make placement poses (like the ones available for the halfling house, the Limestone Cavern, etc...)

You have to actually place the figures initially to get the xyz coordinates to make them. Also, they won't work with props unless the prop is parented to a figure. I've got some out there for a few different items, you can use any of them for a template, they only values you'll have to change are the actual xyz coordinates. HTH, ~j~

Judith, I LOVE your placement poses. They are just indispensible in the Dwarf Mines. I don't know what inspired you to make them, but they really make your products Top Notch!
