What is the Maximum height of an avatar and how do i reach that height

I would like to know how to make my avatar as tall as possible

[Theresa Tennyson]

Right click on yourself and select "Edit My Shape." In the body, torso and legs areas go to all the sliders that have to do with length or height and set them as high as you want. You can have a standard avatar be over 8 feet tall. You may also be able to buy specialized avatars that are taller than that.

When making yourself tall as possible, try and keep your avatar proportions correct or you'll tend to look freakish. Penny Patton and Pussycat  Catnap have good guides to body proportions:

In the main SL Viewer right-click your avatar and select Edit My Shape.

If it refuses to allow you to edit the shape, then you are wearing a No-Modify shape. In that case create a new shape and edit it. In Appearance down at the bottom is a Gear icon. Left-click it and right-click Body Parts then New Shape.

When you are where you can edit the shape, you'll find a Body section, an expending tab bar. Within it is a Height setting. This is not the only thing that affects your height. You'll find that it takes you to 6.6 or so feet depending on other settings.

In Torso is Neck Length and Torso Length. These will also add to your height.

In Legs is Leg Length.

Adjusting all of these will get you to the maximum height for an avatar. But, this is not the only way to get a taller avatar. We also use deformers to make small and large avatars. These are animations that relocate the avatar joints and scale the skeleton bones. You can find deformer kits in the Market Place. Also, Gendel's Children, a shop in SL, has big dragons and other creature type replacement avatars. They are cheap. So, you may want to play with one of those.

Penny Patton has done some nice articles on creating proportionally correct avatars. If you're into that, follow Nyll's links to the articles.

The only complications, other than banging your head on stuff, is some RP and combat games have height limits. If you're not playing in one, that's irrelevant.

Depending on species, or possibly chemistry, "an avatar" could be 60m or more

This bears repeating.
