Its been years since i actually rigged anything in messiah, but i remember that sometimes you need to set a key frame at rest position in setup so the mesh wont go anywhere else.

so at frame 0 set a keframe and all objects should stay put.

I’d check that Girl_BackXform and Girl_Hips aren’t rotated away from your setup position. You can use the Reset->All button on the motion block of those items in Animate mode.

Hi Jullia

It looks to me that the start of your hierarchy, Girl_Hips, is a bone instead of a null. Starting with a bone will start life down the z axis. You have rotated this first bone on pitch to make it vertical and then added more bones to suit your model.
The start of the hierarchy should be a null instead of a bone.
Rotate the xform null on pitch then add bones and they will be added vertically for you.

does this help?

Bill.
