Updating Morph Measurements

If you want to change the measurements that were defined for the different parameters with your own measurements, you can use a few different tools, including Tape Measure and Add Circumference. These tools are similar to the 3D Add Tape Measure and Add Circumference Measure tools. For example, if you want to change the bust width, you can create a new measure and then change the defaults to match the new measure.

Note: You can easily turn on/off all measurements in the avatar by clicking the Show/Hide Measurements icon. In order for the Morphs to be available, you will have to select the Static Position final pose.
