	Not quite certain what you mean. 

	But as a general procedure create every part of an object at
0,0,0 then rotate and translate into position and then rotate and
translate the finished object into position. But do the movements
at 0,0,0 prior to any rotations or translations. Do then from the
"inside out" such as shoulder, upper arm, lower, arm, hand,
fingers. That gives you the new endpoint always calculatable from
the previous so you know where to translate it to.
