Moving your own Avatar!
(this is a raw shot from sl)
Yesterday I did a tutorial showing how you can move and position an avatar on a sim where you don’t have rez rights. The link to that is here: Moving Avatars. After I did that post, a few people on different social networks shared how you can move and position yourself on a sim where you can’t rez. I am attaching both videos in this post to make it easier and I’ll also give the instructions below that.
Moving & Positioning your avatar on a sim where you don’t have rez rights:

Instructions on how to move your OWN avatar:
- Bring up the Develop menu by pressing “ctrl-alt-Q”
- Enable: Develop > Avatar > Character Tests > Allow Select Avatar
- Press “ctrl 3” to bring up the edit box
- Right click on your avatar and move yourself around

I hope that helps you guys out. I know this makes me life SO much easier especially since I don’t need to use the height offset thingamajig anymore!

I thought the moving your own avatar (allow select avatar) only worked for height adjustments? I’ve never been able to move myself in any other direction.
Still, a useful trick.
I just tried it and looooove!! Finally I’m able to do adjustments without using poseballs or stuff… Thanks for sharing, Berry!
I am going to have to try this on one of my alts and see how it works for me.
This is so awesome, I just tried it out. Thank you!
THANK YOU! Both of these tutorials are so incredibly helpful.
You’re welcome, glad it’s working out for you guys! <3

I ran into a problem trying to use this method with a fully mesh avatar (mesh hair, head, body, hands, feet). It keeps trying to select the mesh and move it (which we all know is impossible), instead of my actual avi. Would love to know if anyone has a workaround for that.
Thank you for this very useful trick, Berry – and i too would love to know if you have heard of a way to use this with a mesh avatar:). just with ordinary poses not using this trick, the mesh seems to have the effect of raising the avatar in the air, and with no way to position yourself with being mesh, the pose up in the air cant be used.
Iknow this is a old post , I was able to fallow that trick in secondlife viewer , but even if I do all the step in firestorm , it doesnt work. Do not know if you had any update as per today on this.
oh I just reload firestorm and it work now lol hahhaha this help me a lot , I just started to come this year in sl , and didnt know about that way to move avatar, I tell you Strawberry you are so helpfull even with old post hahhaha
Tried this with firestorm 5.1.7. It worked but after about 5 seconds my avatar returned to the previous position. (AO is off, snap in edit unclicked).
