How to make Platform Shoes stay above ground?

[Aluviel Nakamura]

 

Hello creaters,

I have seen many tall platform shoes and I wanted to know how they manage to keep them from sinking into the ground? I got some silly answers like reposition them on your leg etc.  Some said there is a LOD setting you have to use. I am confused and couldnt get a straight answer.  

All I know, is that if I hike them up further on my leg it would would probably be half way up my calf. So that simply doesnt work.

Add a shoe base and increase the heel?

You can use the "Height Offset" in your viewer. Adjust the number until you are positioned where you want to be. In the Firestorm viewer, this is on your "Quick Preferences" on the toolbar button. I'm not sure about the SL viewer, but you should be able to look it up under Help.

Yay thank you Isabelle!

Does the height offset make it look OK to everyone , or just the person using that viewer?

[Isabelle Mavendorf]

To everyone.

Last time I looked, height offset was another TPV feature and wasn't in the official viewer. It's possible that they've added it since then, but I'm not sure.

You can often find that the height adjustment has to change if you move from one sim to another, which can be annoying.  And yes, this is a Firestorm feature, not available in V3, AFAIK.

The way the function currently works will be broken by server-side baking as well. They're working on a replacement but it may be a better long-term solution to make yourself a shoe base ("red sneaker" wearable) you can use to adjust yourself to the right height with those particular shoes. With most current shoes it will be invisible.

Thank you all for your participation> I really appreciate the answers. Now that we have it established that only certian viewers can use this feature, could we all get some step by step onstructions where to find the offset and apply it to the shoe foot or is it avie etc?

Isabelle gave that information in the third post in this thread.

It really depends on your viewer, as it's in different places depending which viewer you use, and not all TPV viewers even have it.

It's not really something you "apply" to the avatar. It's a slider or other adjustable number that you change up or down to move your avatar up or down.
