Hi,
I played around a bit with this and it certainly proved to be a challenge. I believe I've found a solution. I tested this on two levels...ground and also on the side wall of the pool using both Large Male and Medium Female Avatars.
- create your choice of seating prop sized at default values and place it
- create a "Wall" prop sized to x=0.25 y=0.25 z=0.25
- On the Wall prop in "Script", select "Chair 2 Seat" with the "Forward Offset at 210" and "Seat Offset" at zero (0)
- position the Wall prop so that the top edge is one "click" above your visible seating surface and the forward face of the
Wall Prop denotes exactly where you wish the "Back" of your Avatar to be.
With this setup, you'll sit smoothly without first raising up then dropping into the seat. Please keep in mind that the size of your Avatar plays a role in how high or low you sit.
A couple of images to help you visualize my ramblings...
Cheers,
Playa
