Thanks,
I was just moving bricks around the screen with the mouse; I hadn't reallized
you could manually change the values. I tried putting together a minfig and
this was much worse--I just couldn't get the arms to look right with the torso
and then the hands in the arm sockets. And this was with the arms straight down
at the fig's side, not trying to pose or anything. Is there any secret to this,
or is this just something that will come with practice? As it is I'm dreading
the thought of trying to actually pose some figs in a virtual diorama.
