characters root transform pos Y issues

Unity Engine
1

Hi - I’ve been tussling with getting my characters run cycle working in unity, and I’m almost there,

the final thing (I think) that i cant figure out is how to get his hips height movement to appear. When I play the animation in the preview window the floor moves up and down rather than the character, & no matter what I do I can’t remedy it.

would anybody have any suggestions?

many thanks
Nick

seems to play ok in game though

What happens in the scene view? Does the characters feet pass through the ground or does he come off the ground?

i put the model in a scene with an animator on it and the character seemed to move up and down as expected
