positioning furniture pose balls

I just purchased some great Red Pose Balls from Bits and Bobs to put on furniture that I'm making to sell. How do I prevent my avitar from leaping behind the sofa when I have him stand up? I have one particular pose set on two different sofas. On one he leaps forward and on the other he leaps backward. I have tried rotating the furniture to fit the pose and I have tried rotating the ball to fit the furniture. It seems to be random whether he jumps back or forward when getting up, but he always jumps the same way all the time. Just different on the 2 sofas. Anyone have tips for setting my pose balls to the furniture? When I set up my furniture I have the pieces facing either N,E,S or W.
Thanks,
Ethan

Hiya Ethan

I sometimes have that problem when I stand up aswell, I've noticed that if I set the poseball phantom and then link them to the furniture it appears to stop the problem.

Oops, sorry, I misread this.

Positioning... It is a problem of the script and the animation design. The script decides where the avatar faces and where it sits on the ball.
If you set the ball in front of the sofa, it would be good to stand up, but odd while it sat on. So the sitting animation must be created to sit behind the ball.

hmm... they need to be coustmized for each intended end-usage.
