Setup for VketAvatarPedestal_Default

After adding a new Prefab to the scene, the setup window will be displayed. If the window's closed without edits, you may select the added VketAvatarPedestal_Default object in the Hierarchy, and edit the settings through the Open Settings Window button on the Inspector.

1. Designate a Blueprint ID
   Designate the public avatar's Blueprint ID to be displayed on the pedestal.
   How to check the Blueprint ID
   The Blueprint ID can be viewed on the VRChat's content manager, which can be accessed by selecting VRChat SDK → Show Control Panel on the top of the Unity editor, and check the Content Manager tab. By selecting Copy ID button on a public avatar, its ID can be copied to the clipboard. Please make sure that the avatar's Release Status is set to public. If the avatar is set to private, the avatar change will not work on interaction!
2. Adjust scale
   The display object scale may be adjusted.
   

Tips:
If the public avatar for display is unfinished on submission, a placeholder avatar can be allocated which can be overwritten and uploaded later on. Note that if the placeholder avatar is deleted, its Blueprint ID will not be available for overwriting the avatar data.

2. Set a 3D model for display

3. Setup collider scale By selecting Setup Collider, a Capsule Collider will be automatically set according to the displaying 3D object. If automatic setup does not work, select the VketAvatarPedestal_3D prefab in the Hierarchy, and adjust the Capsule Collider in the Inspector.
4. Delete colliders from the displaying 3D object Selecting Delete All Colliders at Visual will delete the colliders attached to the object under the Visual object.

*For functionality, unnecessary colliders in the displaying 3D object must be deleted.

Tips: Not including the 3D pedestal model inside Visual

You may choose not to place the 3D model inside the Visual when, for example, you want to use a Static object as avatar model. In such case, the frame of the Capsule Collider will appear as the frame for Interact.

Tips: Adjust position of the confirmation dialog

If the position of the confirmation dialog is problematic, like when it interferes with the avatar face, you can move the Position of the Interact-Pop inside the Prefab to adjust the position.
