Just curious, if I wanted to change the size of my avatar outside the possibility set currently as options how would I do that? For example, say I would want to set the avatar to be 3 ft tall...?

Thanks.

Height and size are part of your "shape." Which you can save and "wear" just like anything else. (Except you always have to have a shape.)

Right click on yourself and select appearance. Then edit your shape.

Height is right there at the top of the "body" settings, but you will have to change far more than just that. If you just shrink your "height" your body will be too wide, your legs and arms too long, your head too big and so on. I have a child avie and it's harder than you think to get yourself looking right if you change your body. The same would be true if you wanted to make a dwarf or gnome or anything else short.

I sent you a shorter freebie shape in world; you may have to switch the gender on on your avatar for it to work, lol. You might be able to find some more pre-made shapes here.

In the shape there are 3 sliders mainly which affect your height

In body - the appropriately named Height slider

In torso - torso length

In legs - Leg length



(neck length affects height also to an extent)
