Help applying a new Avatar Shape, please??

[Synvarius3]

I have a furry avi, but the default Avi shape has weird proportions and is just too small, so I went and experimented with some custom shapes. When I apply any of these, the avi's eyes become completely dislocated, and I can't for the life of me adjust them to where they look right inside the eye sockets. I know it's 'cause they were applied to be adjusted for the default shape, but how do I fix this? 

Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. <3

so you need eyes adjusted for your avi. i suspect your shape is made for furry heads & not the regular avi head

A pen and paper, so you can copy the body measurements you like from the appearance editor. You then wear the default shape with the eyes correct placed. Change the default shape, using your notes from the other shape. Leave the head untouched. Save as new default body.

You can do this the other way around, but the face and head is more difficult to adjust for furry heads and mesh heads in general. Even if you copy the eye measurements, other numbers can interfer with them.

Yes, I assume the original shape is modify. If not, the best is to contact the creator and ask nice for a modifiable shape.
