I made my first prim shoe. It has a heel on it. How do I get the heel to arch or "lift" so that the shoe will fit correctly? Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Well, I have never actually made a shoe before, but I think this is how it works:

After the prim shoe is made, a separate shoe must be made in the Edit Appearance window. Set the heel to the height it needs to be and use a clear texture. That creates an invisible shoe, whose only purpose is to raise the heel to the right height.

At least I am pretty sure that's how it works. :)

Ok, that makes sense...so how do they connect? The shoes I have seen...you just WEAR them and they lift your heels. Do I drop something into the shoe contents?

Anyone?

Thanks :)))

I believe the shoes you describe contain animations (and an animation overrider script) that lift your av up, and point the feet down. Ask around in the animations forum, and I'm sure you'll find someone that can help.

The shoes I have all come with three pieces: The generic "invisible" shoes as one piece that you wear. Then there are the two prim shoes (R & L), which, I believe, are attachments. Worn together, the shoes look like they are supposed to, with the correct heel height.
