Moonlight Diner Poses

Just purchased the moonlight diner and accessories to learn how to use Daz.  I know you all will think I'm silly, but how do you get an actor to sit in a chair etc.  I can get the poses, but how do I attatch them to a certain char or stool?  How do I put someone behind a counter etc?  Thanks for helping.

    Is this what you bought : http://www.daz3d.com/genesis-poses-for-moonshines-diner-int-ext

    The poses are for the 'figure' not the chair, and the compatible figure is Genesis (although the poses may well work well with other figures too)    Load the figure, make sure that it is selected in the Scene pane, apply the pose, and then move the character to the place that you want it.

    There are several ways to move a figure to where you want it, the Translate tool is probably the easiest (Alt+Shift+T)   Use the arrows to move the figure where you need it to go.   You could also try some of the interactive tutorials available through the Help Menu to get used to the program.

    I don't have that particular pose set but any of the scene specific pose sets I have purchased tend to include location data for each of the poses as well. So the behind the counter pose will most likely pose the character and move it to the location behind the counter the pose was designed for. You can of course move from the default location and/or make adjustments to the pose after (or ctrl click the pose and uncheck the xyz positioning to just apply the pose to the character at its current location)

    Yes I bought that and a slue of other Moonshine diner stuff ~ gosh they were dirt cheap.  Thought it would be a good package to learn with.  Gosh, I have Adobe Master Suite CS6, just found DAZ 3D ~ I LOVE it.  I never really got into 3D before, it is so addictive :)   I have the Michael 6 Pro package.  I tried to use Logan from that.  Maybe I need to get Genesis??  THANKS JimmyC  I will try what you suggest.

    Thank you KA1 for the tips.  I appreciate the input.  This 3D is so wicked awesome smiley  DAZ Forums is such a friendly place, everyone here seems so helpful.  I am excited about learning all I can.

    Michael 6 is based on the Genesis 2 Male, you pretty much get the starter essentials for genesis, genesis 2 Male and genesis 2 female with Daz studio right off the bat, I'm using mainly Genesis 2 but have a place for everything from the V4/M4 models right up to genesis 3. Keep your eye on the freebies section, every once in a while a big V4 or M4 package appears in there with a HUGE amount of stuff for those figures. If you find yourself in a place where you will be purchasing a lot of content I'd recommend going PC+ as well, there's a weekly PC+ freebie and a load of content for $1.99 (les in some sales!!)

    I second the recommendation to go PC+.  Mine paid for itself the first day and hasn't stopped saving me a ton of money since.

    I did get PC+ smiley  I purchased all the Moonshine stuff, because they were dirt cheap, just to practice with and learn DAZ.  But gosh, it made me spend more LOL

    Well, I think I'm gaining on it.  I got them to sit in a booth.  Now to get them to hold a bottle of soda or something.  THX everyone for helping.  Still have so much to learn, but it is fun!  I have to find my starter female now.

    He is hidden. Look at the left of the highlighted line that says "Genesis 2 male". The eye is closed. That means hidden. Click on the closed eye, it becomes open: visible.

    Aha ha ha ~ the pitfalls of a newbie!  That's too funny.  ThX Ati!  I now remember playing with all that eye stuff.
