Capacity region with deeding land to a group

[RandyThePilot]

Hello guys; this night I tried to deed my land to a group, for better management of permissions and roles. And capacity region suddenly gone from a total of 5800 to a 1600 O.O , I had a complete disaster, because many objects came back to my inventory. Can someone explain me what's happened to capacity region? After this I sold land to my self and capacity came back to 5800.

 

Thank you in advance.

Randy.

It sounds like you may have had autoreturn set.  When you changed ownership of the land, a lot of things were no longer owned by the same person/group that owned the land, so they were autoreturned.

Rolig nailed it.  When you own multiple parcels in a region, their object-carrying capacity gets added together.  That number is shown in the "region land capacity" number, and you can allocate prims however you want between your parcels.  You could put all 5800 on one, and leave the others empty.

When you deed land to a group, that group becomes the "owner" of the land.  That parcel is no longer owned by you, and so its parcel land capacity doesn't contribute to your region capacity.  Suddenly, you are over your object capacity, and objects get returned to you.

Plus, if you have autoreturn set on the new, group-owned parcel, and there are any objects that are not owned by you or set to group, THOSE objects will get returned to their owner(s) too.
