1. When working with poses/animations and vehicles the invisible forces of SL may occur.


2. A vehicle may hover oddly as though something were protruding from underneath.


3. If this occurs removing the animation and playing the default SL sit pose will reveal the problem. The collision model for all sitting poses is the same as the default sit.


4. The fix is fairly simple. Ensure the pose is aligned with the vehicle.


5. Using the SL build tools move the Mannequin up one meter from its original position and close build tools.


6. On the HUD click Root-Pos and adjust down one meter (Z axis -1.000).


7. A second check would be to ensure the ground reference is visible and at a level above the ground the vehicle actually rests on. In the event this reference is below ground use build tools to move the Mannequin up (noting the change in Z axis distance) until reference becomes visible. Using the HUD move the Mannequin down and adjust Root-Pos Z axis by the noted amount.


8. When making a single frame pose, enable the zero reference frame and ensure all joints to be included with the pose are locked. Save the pose and add it to the vehicle.


9. The collision model for all sitting poses is the same as the default sit. Removing your pose will display an approximate collision model which is now above the ground the vehicle actually rests on.
