Raise the floor to meet the ceiling. Shimmy spaces are usually only i click high.

I don't want a gap where lara hangs. Remember the secret in the last level of Tomb Raider 1. There is no gap in the wall but you can shimmy along it. Does anyone know how to do this?

One way (and there's probably others):

If you've got a small ledge, you're nearly there. All you need to do now is select the portion of wall where you want the crevice, click until you see the arrows, and make the top of the ledge appear to meet the bottom of the ledge, by pulling the ceiling down a notch on the crevice side. You might need to leave a small gap behind the crevice, so that Lara can grab the crevice, and doesn't think its just a normal wall.

These images might make things a little bit clearer.

View on the crevice side of the wall
View player probably shouldn't see
