How do I View My Avatar?
  There are two ways to view your avatar. One way is to right click the 3D portion of the screen and check the "View my Avatar" choice. The second way requires that you have your "Number Lock" on. You must also click on the 3D portion of the screen, this tells your computer that it is focused on the 3D world and allows you to input 3D commands. Lets call this, "Getting Focus". Once you Get Focus and your Number Lock is on, simply press the Zero on your number pad. This will turn your View my Avatar on or off. When your View my Avatar is on, your view will appear to be just behind your avatar.


Adjusting your View.
  There are many ways to adjust your view. First Get Focus on the 3D screen, then use the indicated keys on your number pad. (see picture below) Only the keys on the number pad will work. Try each key to see how it adjusts your view. If you get confused, press the 5 key and it will bring you back to the original view. With a little practice, it is possible to view your avatar from almost any angle or position.
