Yes, it does get shifted unless ALL of the dials are set to ZERO. However, the best method is to open the ORIGINAL models you're going to work with into a modeling program and merge them there. Just do not change the centering of them. Then edit a CR2 file to match up to your new figure. In the case of a horse and a dolphin- Open the Horse cr2 file and copy the pertainent body part info from that CR2 for your new CR2. Then do the same for the dolphin. Make sure NO body part names are duplicated. If they are, then RENAME one or the other, then use Mason's combined figures tutorial for that part of it.
