Hi Joe, I will have a look at the set-up you suggested, I had ruled out
referencing before due to some impression (not sure where I got it from)
that the concept was prone to difficulties. Your suggested method sounds
very interesting, its actually not something that I have thought of. I will
have a play this weekend, do a simple scene and dig through the manuals for
referencing ..... Thanks for the workflow, its been a great help and
definitely adds another string to the bow.

> * The noTrans hierarchy should be everything that is not

> * Then reference your LR while animating and only animate
> attributes under the trans hierarchy. Switch your reference
