How do I save a character with all values at zero?

Hey everybody,

Hopefully I can describe this properly. So, I've created a character using morphs. I want to save this character so that the morphs I've made are the new zero baselines for the character, so that when I load it into a scene, I can apply additional morphs to it as if it was a completely new and unmorphed character. Does that make sense? In other words, lets say that when I created my character, I moved the "jaw in/out" slider to 25. I want to save that character so that that setting becomes the new default, and when I load it into a scene, the "jaw in/out" slider will read zero.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance to anyone who answers!

    You can't, as far as I know. You can make it the default value, but zero.

    So, I would have to go through all the values I changed and set the value I adjusted as the new default? 

    How do the PAs who design characters do it? Because when I open a character I've purchased, they're ready to go without values already in their morph slots.

    Edit>Figure>Memorise>Memorise Figure Shape wil set the defaults for the loaded figure. Also saving and loading a Character preset (as a new figure), as I recall, sets the defaults to the load values. Often PA characters that use the stock morphs will make a single new controller and use ERC Freeze to link it to the component morphs, so there's a single slider to set the morph (the the components will still show their assigned values).

    Thank you, I'll give that a try, and see what I can do!

    This looks great. Thank you! I'm bookmarking it.

    I've once saved a group of characters as a scene-subset / subscene or somting like that. (I can't remember exactly and I'm not near my computer) And then loaded that after I opened another scene.
