Test Avatar sizing in Marvelous Designer

NOTE:
When using File | Open | Avatar or File | Add | Avatar from the main menu, you can change the load type to either Open or Add in the Scaling popup after selecting file.

1. To compare the G8F Avatar to the default ones; File | Add | Avatar.  Browse to default path for avatars (now you will need that path from the previous section).  Select one of the default avatars (we chose Female_C_V3.avt), and click the Open button.

2. In the popup, choose Type=Add then click the OK button. You can compare the two avatars to see that the sizing worked fine.
