why do i get one prim count in About Land/Objects and another in Edit/More Info?

[Bobbie Faulds]

Just a suggestion..Are you looking at the actual prim count or land impact. There's a difference. I could link 5 prims, for instance, then use convex hull and change the land impact to a lower number. Just a thought.

Bobbie's right.  When you Edit an object, or select Object Profile (Inspect, in the Firestorm viewer) you will get a PRIM COUNT.

When it comes to land, though, "land impact" is no longer exactly the same as the number of prims in the object.  Land impact depends on several factors, including physics type, prim type, mesh complexity and size, etc.  About Land is showing you the land impact of the objects on the parcel.  This is the number you and your renters should use to determine if they have too much Stuff out.

If your rental system counter shows something different from About Land, you should use the About Land number as the "official" count.

I'm just trying to figure out how sl calculates prim so that I can give our renters a proper answer. Why are we getting such disparaging numbers? How is it that, for one renter, sl says 30 prims, and when i hand count, I get 40 when looking at each object separately. I figure that mesh is "gumming up the works" here, as it were, in this area and making it more...complicated than b4 mesh.
