Turning you avatar around

[MariahWhispers]

For some reason most of the time I cannot turn my avatar.

EXAMPLE:   I go in a changing room then I want to turn HER around so she is facing me but I am having a time doing this.  Is there an easy solution for this?

alt + clik (and hold) and move the mouse..... soon you'll try to do it on the 2d web with pictures on accident

Hold down the alt key and use arrow keys or use your camera controls

[MariahWhispers]

That is not working.  I held down cntr and left clicked the mouse and moved the mouse.  Is that right, if so that did not work.

Sassy that is what I have been doing all along but most of the time it does not work.  On occasion it does.

cntr key? you have to hold down the ALT key and try using the arrow keys while your holding down the ALT key

alt, not ctrl.... it takes a little getting used to unless you have extra programmable mouse buttons (if you do, add one for alt key that's comfortable to hold down with left click, and set it for SL use)

alt + click +
left (rotate around the left of what you clicked on)
right (rotate around the right of what you clicked on)
fwd/up (zoom in on what you clicked on)
back/dwn (zoom out from what you clicked on)

adding ctrl to that mix changes fwd to rotate over, and back to rotate under.

the directions work with the mouse or the keyboard, but with the mouse you also have to click.

You could turn the camera around by using the mouse wheel and mouse (eta: or arrow keys), while your av is standing on the pose stand or sitting in the chair.

Or you could still the camera on your avatar, and move it around to the front. Others have said how to do this. It just takes some practice. Don't worry you will get it.

There is sn Icon for preset views under your View button where you can change your camera position without using the Ctrl Keys. But this is only available in V2 or the equivalent codes. It should be able to toggle your camera to front and back and side.

use a pose stand, they usually come free with most clothes you buy so you can adjust

I posted this snapshot in another thread. It shows the button that bring up the camera controls, it is called "View". 

You see the two wheels? The one to the right sends your camera out, the one to the left rotates it. The + and - in the middle is the zoom in, zoom out. Under is an eye icon, click that and you get 3 camera presets. One for a closeup of the face/chest, one for a side view and the default view from behind. Click the face view, that's the quick and easy way. Remember to change it back, or else you will have a lot of trouble walking when you see yourself from the front all the time.  

Edit: I see that Willow have told you about the view button, but it is helpful to see a picture? I assume you use viewer 2.
