What's this orange stuff?

[Arduenn Schwartzman]

Hi. When I highlight the physics shapes of a build, I suddenly see orange. Can anyone tell me what this means?

Let me see, the Second Life Viewer documentation says...    Wait a minute.  Where is the documentation?  When I search Knowledge Base and get over twenty four thousand results with your post at the top and no applicable answers below I have to assume it is your turn to make something up because the is no documentation.

Physics is probably fine.

In this case it looks like an example of the orange colour indicating the render complexity of that part of the build.

I dunno. For 'physics orange', I got 14 results with no reference to orange here:

https://community.secondlife.com/search/?q=physics orange&quick=1&type=cms_records3&nodes=30

And then, with the subsequent, suggested 'physics AND orange' search option, nothing at all:

https://community.secondlife.com/search/?q=physics orange&type=cms_records3&nodes=30&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and

So that was why I was asking. Maybe you can make something up below to educate us mere mortals on how to use the search option?

I quit asking LL questions about the viewer after I got told the source code is the documentation.  Good luck.

Looks like the creator should have chopped up the orange object into smaller child objects. Thanks, people.

🧐 Thx was wondering what that was too lol

You mean all that orange/yellow is a single object???

If so, yes, they most definitely should. No need for fancy coloured physics shape displays to see something as obvious as that.
