Building Castle~Link failed but it's all 1 object

[PinknBlonde]

Let me be clear, I am building a castle and have a large amount of the front part done. I linked it to save my work. Now I am trying to do the sides and it says it's too fart apart, but it's only one object. Heres a picture to show what I'm talking about:

How do I stop this problem, I want to continue making it.

You don't have to build it as one single linkset. If you need to keep it together for inventory purposes you're going to need a tool that can handle more than one linkset, I use Rez-foo for this.

The max number of prims in a linkset or, total object  is 256.  It also depends on the size and how far apart your prims are.  Can read more on the wiki  http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=lin

if the new prim is farther than about 30m from the root prim of your link set, you'll get that error, even if it's under 256 prims.

I usually build in 'sets' and lable them "North 1st Floor, south 1st Floor, North 2nd Floor" etc.

Then, as a temporary save, you can hit Ctrl3, box all of them to get everything selected, and then 'take copy' of the whole build (even though it is two or three or five linksets). Find it in your inventory (I use the 'recent' feature) and then rename it so you can find it again.

After you complete this really big build, use a rezzer like Casper's Rezz-free or something similar to pack it all away into one prim for resale or just to keep it easy on yourself for re-rezzing and moving/adjusting the entire build.
