Nalates Urriah Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 This is a common problem. I have yet to find a good fix that always works. I think that is because the things we stand on are not consistent. For instance the Linden homes in some places are made of prims and in others mesh. That is true of everything in SL. The system handles those things in different ways. The building, streets, walks, and floors are made in different ways by different people. Also, the people making the shoe bases are inconsistent. What were they standing on when they made the shoe base? The best I have been able to do with all this inconsistency is set my shape Hover, in Appearance, to 50 then set the right-click-on-avatar hover to zero and make a new Shoe Base. I stand on a prim when I make the base. I have prim rugs in my Linden home to reduce hover problems in the house. Out and about I have the hover slider from av-right-click on screen as I am either sinking into the floor, sand, grass, whatever or floating above it because of all the variety of ways people build. I can't do anything about what they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marianne Little Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Hi. you already get one reply, I just want to say that float height is what we all struggle with. Yours is very good there, I would not notice that if I met you. Absolutely not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Amore Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) I'd always rather be a little above than below the floor. Also, depending on where else you may go, you might actually appear perfectly. I notice this from one place to the next.

Claireschen Hesten Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 If the shoe base is modifiable you could try adjusting the heel and platform height or maybe not use the shoe base. depending where you go your current level of hover could be perfect for the ground or if on terraformed land like mainland your feet could sink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the foot is exactly flush with the floor in one position it's very likely it will seem to dig into the floor in another. Most avatars are set up so that their feet float slightly above the ground to avoid this and because, with the downward standard camera view, it's not going to be very noticeable most of the time. You'll only see it when you're looking very closely at the floor and/or your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chery Amore Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) This was made for me after I kept having problems with my own shoe heights, and I told him he should put it on sale so everyone can try. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Auto-Magic-Shoebase/19928317 Edited August 10, 2020 by Cherylinn 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chery Amore Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 It's really nice.. I had lots of trouble cause I'd change from really tall shoes to normal heel shoes or barefoot and I hate using the hoverheights... theres a demo of course too.
