Prim, convex hull and big land impact difference. Why ?

[Laurent Bechir]

Hello,

For the same object, if I select Convex hull, I have a land impact of 36, while selecting Prim raises the land impact up to 1308, as you can see on the attached screenshots. I'd like to know why ?

 

Thank you

My guess is that is has to do with all of those hollowed and cut flexi prims.  When you start hollowing, slicing, twisting, and cutting prims, it causes more work for the servers, so L.I. goes up. This is one of those times when you are better off not using the new L.I. accounting system.  Take a look at http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Mesh/Prims-Prim-Equivalent-Land-Impact-a-too-long-guide/td-p/1293579
