proper way to stretch belly chains etc in edit

[BlondiBiBay]

Can someone please tell me the correct way to stretch jewelry, such as belly chains ,  in edit.

Thank you very much

This can be complicated, frustrating, and maybe even impossible, depending on your belly chain item.

If it's Modify:

• Right click and select Edit
• Use the colored position arrows to reposition it.
• If it needs to be rotated, hold CTRL and use the colored rings to rotate it.
• If it needs to be re-sized, hold down the CTRL+SHIFT keys and drag a white corner handle to re-size it.
• If you can't get a good fit in this way, you're going to have to do it prim-by-prim.
• Check the Edit Linked box in the Edit window.
• Select a prim.
• Move it into position
• Repeat until all the prims have been repositioned

This can be tedious, frustrating, and horribly subject to slips of the mouse.  Make a safety copy of the item before editing!!!

If it has a re-sizing menu:

• Click the item to open the menu
• Select All Prims
• Re-size as needed.
• You can use the position and rotation controls as described above
• If you need to edit this type of item prim by prim it may be VERY tedious.
• Click on a prim in the chain, select This Prim from the blue menu
• Use the menu choices to re-position the prim
• Repeat until done or until you give up in disgust

Do this while on a pose stand.  But remember, when your avatar moves, the item may not move exactly as you'd like, because it's attached to a certain attachment point on your avatar.  Your fit may need to be a compromise to get the best results in any body position.
