KayKendall Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hello Everyone,I recently rezzed a purchase in my Linden Home and it somehow is now "attached" to the wall. I cannot get it to open a menu when I click on it and I don't know how to Take It back or delete it. Anyone had this happen before? I don't want the added prim count of this object on my wall...lol. Help!Problem Solved!First of all I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to help me with my problem, you're all TERRIFIC!I ended up using the camera control to look at the object from the side. I could not click on it without moving it out of view because my AVI kept moving too. I changed the setting in preferences to "no action on single click" and Voilla! I was able to select it and take it from the wall! Thanks again everyone!Kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madelaine McMasters Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Nice work, Kay! ;-) If you can see it, you should be able to select it. It looks like the lower right corner of the thing hangs past the edge of the wall, so if you're having difficulty grabbing it elsewhere, try clicking there. If that doesn't work, make sure you've got "Select by Surrounding" checked in the Build->Options menu, then open the build window and drag around the box. That should select it. Once it's highlighted, you should be able to "Take" it back by right clicking it. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Another trick for 'isolating' object stuck in walls, floors, etc, is to temp derender the wall, etc, if you are using a TPV that supports it. That makes it easy to select the recalcitrant culprit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayKendall Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks! Have no Idea how this happene:o Anyway, tried the corner edge, no luck. Select by Surrounding is checked. It highlights the fireplace, walls etc. but not the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Select by surrounding shouldn't select anything that's not completely enclosed inside the selection rectangle. You might try restarting the viewer. Anybody else got an idea?

Profaitchikenz Haiku Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Have you tried disabling the camera setting which prevents the camera from going into objects and then actually moving into the wall itself to right-click on it? It sounds as if, although you can apparently see it sticking proud of the wall, that is an optical effect and it is in fact just beneath the surface of the wall. If you accidentally embedd an object right inside another this is often the only way you will get to it if you cannot move the other object up out of the way.

valerie Inshan Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Hi Kay! I've had a rather similar problem long ago, although it was an emitter which is easier to locate using Beacons. But since your object does seem to be scripted, please have a look at the thread I started at that time, and especially at Ceera Murakami's answer. The tips she gave should be working for you. :smileyhappy: (at least, I hope so!) http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Everything-Else/How-do-I-retrieve-an-object-buried-under-my-house/qaq-p/880237 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qie Niangao Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Might be a little easier to use Build / Options / Select Only My Objects, then drag the surrounding box to select. (Remember to disable this afterwards or you'll go crazy trying to figure out why everything is broken.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ina Fairport Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Just use the camera to look inside the wall and take the object. If you don't know how to do that send me an IM and I will do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
