Support "legacy" grab offsets for Bean Body avatars
The latest Rec Room update made changes to how items are held in VR to support the upcoming Full Body avatars. These changes are uncomfortable with the bean body & work against many years of muscle memory.
It's been said that bean bodies will continue to be an option for players, which gives the expectation that they will still work as they do today. The lack of body-type-specific "grabbing" infrastructure means this is currently impossible -- if this technology isn't built, I imagine the bean body experience will get worse over time.
For example: the Maker Pen is now weird to hold in VR, which disrupts creator workflows. Additionally, many of the RRO weapons have changed in ways that could necessitate re-learning them (in the most dramatic example, the Crescendo whip).
Building the systems to support per-body-type item grabbing would allow for the use of legacy grab offsets in the bean body case, which ensures players have the best experience regardless of their chosen body type.

Thatmanc001This is something that everyone playing in leagues right now would greatly appreciate as well because the change in aim is HUGE and will take months for everyone to get used to it. It also seems as if it would be easy to add a button similar to the legacy fly feature that would set the offsets to the original ones.

swean_For some reason I am not being allowed to upvote this post so I'll leave this comment stating that I support "legacy" grab offsets for Bean Body avatars.

Tarris_YuthemThe information included in the description should be enough to tell you that you don’t need a vote. Giving builders who have been building for 7 years need this to be added. The effects that these new hand offsets is already great. Not adding a Legacy option for hand offsets will hinder or even prevent creators from doing what they love. We shouldn’t be forced to adapt to this, if we aren’t planning on moving away from the Bean body, also when we’ve spent, like you’ve said, years developing muscle memory. Please add a Legacy option for hand offsets

Steve RinkleYou should add so you can change it not like the setting in that it doesn't help like having a thing like reset the hands to like the original hand that we use to have.

KageOnVRI just think they should add offset for the bean body and when you equip the full body you get no offset
