- You can "wear" objects--attach them to your avatar.
- Pre-made objects you get may have attachment points already set.
- You can set an attach point for any full perm object you own.
- Once an object is attached, you can position it as you wish.
- When an object has an attachment point set, you can "wear" it
- You can also "wear" clothes, but that is not like "wearing" objects
-
To attach an object
-
When you click to select the point, the object will attached to that point in a default postition. The position of the object will be referenced to its center. So don't be shocked when it is not where you expect. Here is what you do next:
Right click on the object and select Detach.
Or select Drop if you want to get an extra copy.
Or find it in your inventory (look for the word "Worn"). Right click on that and select Detach.
-
An object you detach will go back to your inventory and will remember its attachment point and position. So in the future, you don't use attach to. You right click and select Wear. If you give the object to another person, they can wear it. The object will take the same position on that person, but the shape of a diffferent avatar may require custom editing.
-
It you have a previous copy with the same name, you want to change one of the names so you can tell them apart in your inventory. The previous copy will not have picked up the attachment point and editing information.
