In-Place mode for Motionbuilder?

TorQue[MoD]

Hey all, I'm incredibly new to MotionBuilder and I tried to find a tutorial on how to do this on yt, but I couldn't find it.
I'm working with motion capture data that my friend and I just recorded, but the scene has him starting really far from world center and he's moving all over the place. I was wondering if there's an easy way to zero him out to the origin of the scene? I don't want to remove the hip information, I just want to make sure that he's mostly standing in place. Does anyone know how to do this? In max, with biped you have an option for "In-Place" mode and I'm wondering if there's something similar with MB?

Thanks!

Thanks Eric, but it doesn't work. I've got my character being controlled by another character on which I'm importing the mocap data and I set both of them to use the lock X Y Z under In Place, but as soon as you import the mocap data, it overrides the position. I was hoping there'd be an easy way to simply re-position the character in the scene, maybe using animation layers, but this doesn't seem to work either. I can reposition the hips on the first frame, but each frame of the mocap data still has him moving. I'd have to manually key a new position for every frame which would take forever.

Oh, actually plotting the animation to the rig made the In-Place modifiers work again. Thanks so much for the help!

Did you read the whole article? They talk about using the curve editor to edit all the keys at once. 

I can't double check though, not a MB user. Just trying to help out.

Oh sweet, thanks! I'll be sure to check it out. Mocappys on YT is what I was using to familiarize myself with MB... didn't realize they had a website too.
