setting pose balls

hi......: ) i have been playing with making pose balls and so far things are goin ok...but i am having problems setting the ball to wherer its. not 2 feet in the air..but on the chair!.
as i understand it .... you have to change the vector settings to a X Y Z setting?...tried that with the settings on the screen and lol. of course i went out of this world!...hehe..i have tried just fiddling with it but that took hours of trial and error.
is there a simple way to set the ball to where you want it?. or is there some tutitorial. where i can read. i have looked about and thats all i have been able to come up with....any ideas would be helpful. thanx.... : ).......

A lot of trial-and-error with that is very painful. An easier way may be to resize the ball so it's fairly big, then sit on it, then edit the ball and rotate it around--live with direct feedback!--to your liking. This is far more intuitive than messing with the numbers. A catch with this is making sure the poseball is unlinked from other objects, first, or they'll spin around too. Best of hope, Shara.

That works really well, but sometimes you are sitting so far off that it'll never fit. With the x,y,z coords make SMALL changes. They are based on how far away from the ball you are, not on where you are at in the sim. So if you are sitting above it, change the z by -0.5. There will be a noticable difference trust me.

awwwww : ). thank you so much Torley and Luth. im off to give it a go thanks again!.
