Feet/shoes sinking into ground/floor

Okay, not a major issue compared to some, but after trying on a new pair of shoes my feet sink into the floor/ground almost up to the ankles. I'm at a loss.

Thanks for any suggestions -

Hmm sounds like what happens object is phantom that you're walking on but I might be wrong.
Do the shoes go up to your ankles or it the surface you're on?
When you make object in edit as phantom you can walk through it. I didn't know shoes were phantom but I made mistake buying some shoes that looked like a guy could wear but were design for women and the entire shoe was backwards. The owner basically said sorry I don't sell shoes for men, but still she got 175 out of me. I won't buy shoes any more and I am very careful who I buy things from now..
I strong suggest you figure out how to either get the textures you want for your shoes and make your own with the appearance sliders. If you want a lesson give me jingle in game.
I am still learning so I can't teach you template shoes or prim shoes yet.
I think the person may have been new and design went either off in some way.
You could try to talk to owner of the shoes but from experience only half of time the owner or seller of shoes or item is helpful if you run into problems. Or the seller of shoes isn't the owner.

Are your legs bent at the knees, almsot like you're crouching a bit? If so, you've been 'ruthed'. Usually teleporting to another sim will fix it.

TP fixed it! thanks!

Did you tp to a skybox by any chance? There's another long outstanding bug related to that .

I never tested to get an exact number, but tp'ing anywhere over 300m will offer a reproduction. Instead of standing on the top of the prim, you'll be standing on the center of it, the thicker the floor prims, the more you'll "sink" into them.

A second tp to the same location is a - rather annoying - workaround, and strangely enough, offering someone a tp to your location will not cause them to "sink", neither will logging off and relogging in that same spot cause it.

I've seen that bug very often ('bout every single time I teleport to my skybox *sigh*) and sitting / unsitting on an object (posing stand, chair) has always reset the avatar position to the correct setting, with feet no longer poking into the ground.

I build up in the air so there's usually not a poseball in sight, I'm going to put one out now, so far I've just been tp'ing... step forward... tp back again.

Thanks so much .

I encountered this bug a few days ago in a new house build of mine. One particular section of the floor acted as if it was phantom, leaving me standing on the ground, several feet below. The result looked like a Twilight Zone episode, as my AV sank into another dimension.

I checked properties, tried unlinking/linking, then finally just deleted the house and rezzed a saved copy. That seemed to fix it, but I'm still a bit wary walking over those floor boards....

My feet sink into the ground on some sky structures if I teleport in form another sim. The way round this is jump/fly off the platform to diown to ground level, walk around a for a few steps and TP back up again - and feet are back to normal.

Saw this happen to a friend a few weeks ago, and she was standing on actual terrain, but her feet were ankle deep in the ground. It appeared that an A/O in her clothes of shoes was malfunctioning.

huh, I'll have to check this workaround. Me too, I encounter this bug a lot.

This has been a 'feature' for a long time.

Logging out and in again fixes it for me.

This is *really* annoying, alongside its evil twin "the invisible barrier of nothingness that stays until you randomly unlink some corner of the build"

I'm betting your phantom prim is the root too. Every time I've seen this, it's been the root prim.

My fix is to (in the edit window, in the value entry fields) change the Z size of the prim to something else and back again. Fixes it each time. Changing Y or X might work too, or any other prim parameter, but Z thickness is simple for me to remember. Takes ten second to do and saves rezzing and repositioning a whole build.

BINGO! Yes, folks, we have a winner here. That actually makes me feel better -- this is predictable rather than some random prim going mushy on me.


Thanks, that is easier than having to rezz the building again. Fortunately, for this build I was in development and so the building was empty and can be plopped down anywhere on my sand box.

Tempting to add "fix the damn floor" option to my house control script for if this happens. Something that does a "get and set" of the prim params on the root

Another thing that could cause this is:
you are wearing prim shoes but your avatar's shoe setting and heel height are set to the lowest possible so part of the prim shoe is sinking into the ground because according to SL you're flat without shoes. If the placement of the attached shoe centers your foot then some of it is going to sink into the ground.

I've found that sitting on a poseball and jumping right back off will get my feet out of the ground...easier than tp
