Idle thoughts for idle builders

Not being a builder, and thus fairly clueless on these sorts of things --- Why are megaprims bad?

They're not really. But they have a reputation for being laggy and many builders are a bit scared of using them, at least for walkable surfaces, and I think LL still officially warns against them.

This was mainly an exercise in thinking outside the box and explore some prim possibilities often overlooked. If you actually want a full sim platform, find a 256x256 and rez it. I have 11 of them in the sky above Coniston, not counting the seven phantom water planes. Most of them have been there for years and they haven't caused any problems so far.

Thanks.  I've always used magaprims for my sky platforms and never had any issues.
