How to Get a Second Life

To look far away from your avatar If you want to be in one place, but also want to be able to look at or build somewhere else you can stop the camera constraints to zoom out much further away. To do this: 햲 Go to the CLIENT option in your menu bar (see the box on

p 78 if you can’t see this option). 햳 Then select DISABLE CAMERA CONSTRAINT so that an

‘X’ appears next to it. 햴 Then hold down ALT and left-click on an object that is in the

direction you want to be looking at. Move your mouse or scroll to zoom in on the object in the direction you want to focus your camera/viewer on. 햵 Once you have zoomed in on this object, choose another

object further away to focus on. In this way you can continue focusing further and further away until you get where you want. If you can find a nearby piece of land that you can build in, such as a sandbox, you can build to your heart’s content while your boss thinks you’re working. Disabling your camera constraints can be very useful for looking far away or in places you can’t normally see, but it can create difficulties with your normal viewing, so it is worth turning the constraints back on again when you have finished your task.
