Is there a way to get the avatar to HOLD STILL? If not, then I'd like to request one.

There are times I'd like to place something exactly, but I can't get her to stop fidgetting.

For instance, I have one item attached to the chest. I can't attach it to the pecs, becuase they MOVE and the item pops out all the time, so it's attached to the chest. (Most centerline attachements are already spoken for, by the way.)

Now I need to attach a similar item to the other side of the chest. This turns out to be tricky. You have to pre-position it first, then LINK it to the other and reattach them as one unit back to the chest. Between my butter fingers and her wriggling and wanting to watch, it's VERY frustrating.

So, I would like a FREEZE command, if possible.

Now, I remember seeing a "Stop Moving" item on the menu but, since it never stopped me from moving in my early experiments in avoiding automatic gravitational descent, I assume it isn't hooked up yet. Will t his become the command I need?

I'd like this too. Mostly because the swaying when I'm working on things starts to make me ill. No one sits still, they kind of...rock back and forth.
