To Restore Previous Viewer Height: press Reset instead of Accept after sliding scrollbar. The scrollbar is set to the last Accept'ed value. To Dismiss the Height Dialog: press Cancel.

Posture ______________________________________________________________ | CM Surveyor | |------------------------------------------------------------| #2 Menus | File Personal Environ Section Fidelity View Help | |-----|-----------|------------------------------------------| | | Height | | | Posture > _____________ ------------| = = = = = | | * Fly | | o Stand | | o Stoop | | o Crawl | | o Slither | ------------- Purpose: Sets the navigational posture or attitude of the viewer of the scene. Usage: To Set "Fly" Attitude: click Fly. Enables unrestricted movement in all three section views. Eye height factor is set to 0.0 (eye at foot level). To Set "Walk" Attitude: click Stand, Stoop, Crawl, or Slither. Restricts movement so that the viewer's feet are always on a deck). Attempting to move off a deck causes an error message to appear in the Message Window. The eye height factor is set to 0.944 for Stand, 0.7 for Stoop, 0.33 for Crawl, and 0.15 for Slither. Notes: Although all the Posture menu items work, "Walk" Attitude is not yet fully implemented. Hence, selecting any of the Walk attitude options will cause the error message to be displayed when an attempt is made to move the avatar. This occurs because the navigational part of CM Surveyor is not aware of any decks), and so always thinks you are walking off of one. For the present, use Fly attitude only.
