Yes, I agree. 90% of the time when moving to the other hand or ... it won't align properly and floats in the air. I guess one "hand bone" to the opposite was made with different axis or something. I know they weren't mirrored to the other body half... but

 

the best solution is to physically move it to the other hand in a new mesh. Once in a while it works. It works with bracelets more often than finger accessories...

Hi @Cali12691​  This is true as to what jazzKat says. Always the best option is to discuss it with the original Mesher. But, there is a very outside chance the ring might work on either hand but it depends on the Mesher and the original alignment of the ring. This tactic works best with larger items link bracelets, bands, etc. But it may work on a ring...

 

Open the derivable ring, bracelet of whatever it is. In the IMVU Studio. Open your ring project. Look on the left side for the "Skeleton" Icon. Click it. Look on the Right Side for the body attachment bone called "Node" in the Studio. This is what you want to change.

 

You are going to type in the Studio, this attachment "Node" or the bone you want to to attach the product. Use the Guide in this Post for the exact names of the nodes you want. https://help.imvu.com/s/question/0D51L00004vZaQhSAK/

 

In that post, slide down to the "Best Answer" post and check out the Bone "Map". Usually the ring will be on a bone named something like, "lfFingerRing01" and if you want to move it to the other hand, simply interchange the "lf" part for "rt" Meaning Left and Right, respectively. It should then be something like "rtFingerRing01" depending on which finger the ring was originally. Moving it to a different finger (say Pinky to Index) very rarely works.

 

The chance of the ring aligning correctly on the opposite hand is slim but maybe worth a try. Other than that; as jazzKat says, talk to the mesher of the ring and ask them to move it to the other hand for a perfect fit.

 

Try it... it may work...

If you didn't make the original item you can't really, you'd need to physically move it and (re)publish as a new product.
