cut a hole

[DelizaLove]

When building in world, is there a a way I can cut a hole in a prim ?

[ChinRey]

Yes, under the  Object tab in the builder window you find a parameter called "Hollow".

There are serious limtis to what it can do but with a bit of tweaking experienced prim ticklers can use it to produce amazing results.

Once you get the hollow, if you look, you can change the shape of the hole. With a circle you can path cut and make a keyhole doorway. With the square, you can use it for a room or fence....huge possibilities with tortured prims that seem to have been forgotten with the mesh craze going on.

I always suggest a visit to the Ivory Tower of the Primitive:

Me too. I work mostly with mesh nowadays of course but twisting prims in SL is fun, moving vertices in Blender is just work.

Perrie already mentioned the Ivory Tower - mandatory for all builders!

Another great resource is Ayumi Cassini's famous blog article:
