Can I choose not to move when choosing edit?

[Charolotte Caxton]

When I right click on an object and choose edit, I automatically turn to face it. Can I prevent this?

to Rolig: lol, no. Sometimes I have spent quite a while getting a pose just right and then I have to edit something in the shot and I suddenly turn to face that object. Not so much fun :(

to Valerie: Hi! I would think the dislocation of my left arm ligaments and the glowing dots would be enough to keep my attention! lol

[Rolig Loon]

I don't think so, Charolotte.  Frankly, though, I have never tried.  Are you trying to do stealth editing in a crowd?  :smileytongue:

i like to edit in ninja mode lol

[Rolig Loon]

Hehehe ... That could be a handy feature. I hide the particle beam when I'm editing because I find it annoying and it attracts attention. It would attract even less attention if I could edit behind my back. If you ever figure out how to do it, let me know.

lol i like the particle beam because it attracts attention, no not really, that would be silly. seriously, i don't enjoy having placed myself in just the right spot for a photo and then i go to adjust a prop and suddenly i am all turned around! (insert growly face here)

You can not change from shifting when editing but you could use a poseball or a sit on something.

Hi Charolotte! I am afraid you cannot prevent your avatar from facing the object you edit. Even then wearing an AO, the editing action suspends it while you are working on the item. Not very nice indeed, but maybe this is intented to keep you concentrated on the editing process? :smileytongue::smileywink:

Great idea!

In Phoenix Viewer is an option to not play the customize animation when going into edit appearance.

It is actually quite an annoying feature sometimes, like if you are dancing on a chim in sync with other people and you pay a tip jir or sploder and you end up facing the wrong way.

The only way that stops it that I know of is to be sitting.
