Is there a way to hide the waving arm and beam when right clicking an object?

[Hank Essex]

I know this isn't a crisis but suddenly my AV has gone back to waving his arm about at objects I am right-clicking and a beam flows out to the object. Many, many moons ago, I was able to shut that off and now it is back.

How, again, do i shut off that behavior?

Sl viewer 3.4.3.2xxxxx

I know in Firestorm beams can be turned on/off in preferences>firestorm>avatar.

I am not sure with the SL viewer, but if you dig through your preferences you will find the object to turn off your beam.

I can't get in to test it (SL seems to be having issues) but try Me>Preferences>Move&View and uncheck Automatic Position for Build/Edit.

Check for avatar options about pointing at objects.  That said, it's probably best to leave it on, as it gives a body language cue to others that you're building and it's probably not best to interrupt.

hello Hank, 

I am now seeing this post and not sure if you got it fixed, please go to the "build" menu up top, then to options, then uncheck "Show selection beam".

 

Hope that helps, if you already got it, hopefully this post will help someone else..

 

have fun

Hi! I found your question because my avatar has stopped pointing at objects during building or editing, and I want her to start again! Do you have any idea how you did that in the first place?
