HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg, I think I made a big mistake.  I rezzed a star emiter into my SL house and all I have now is hover text showing and it took up about fifteen prims and emits no stars. 

Is there any way to get rid of the star emiter that only shows the hover text, short of removing everything from my house and starting over?  (I've tried to click on it at least two dozen times, but it's too small to hit and delete.)

Seriously, praying I don't have to remove everything to get rid of this.  Is there any other way to get rid of the non-working star emiter under ANY tool I might not know of?

Go into build mode and drag over the area where it is. drag select is your friend.

[Mayalily]

Omg, I hope this saves my house and having to redo all that work.  I'll go try now.  Thank you so much.  I seriously pray it works!

Try to zoom in close under the floating text, and use Highlight transparent. Ctrl+Alt+T I hope you will be able to see it. Can you send your camera under the floor? If it does not show up over the floor, it can be under it.

[Mayalily]

HURRAY!  Control + alt + T and zoom got rid of it!  Thank you all so much.  I am forever grateful I don't have to take everything out of my house!  The star emitter is gone and my prims are back!

HUGS YOU ALL FOR SAVING MY HOUSE!

You are lucky it was just in your house, sitting on the floor or somewhere.

 

It happened to me a few times that I made an error moving an object and had objects embedded in a floor or wall with no bits sticking out to select it. Also when jewelry is too small, it is worn on the inside of your avatar instead of the outside. Good luck then editing it to the right size.

With jewelry that is completely embedded in your avatar, open your inventory and find the item in your inventory.  Then, right click the jewelry in your inventory (it should be bolded and say "Worn On...") and then click Edit.  You can then change the size because the jewelry will be in edit mode even though it's embedded in your avatar!  As for something that is stuck inside walls or floors...here is where you will have to use your camera controls to cam inside the wall.  Once you can see it inside the wall, you can click and edit it outside of where it's stuck.

Another trick I have used is to 'max out' my computer running other programs before logging into SL hence slowing down the world rezzing.  I don't know exactly why this is (must be related to the order objects load) but usually I would see those objects before the wall around them would load and I would be able to click on them.  Still had to act fast because it was only a couple of seconds window of time it allowed. 

But generally speaking, my camming skills have improved to the point that I don't have to resort to that method.

Now that is a new one for me!  I was taught to cam inside the avie to fetch whatever was lost.  That is brilliant, Marcus.  Thank you.

[Kenbro Utu]

An extremely good habit to get into is always have the build window open when rezzing new objects.  When you do so, the object is already selected, easy to move, and you can see exactly what you are working with.

I second your vote on that one.  You'd almost think something that obvious would be common knowledge!

 

On a side note, whenever I am rezzing an object that I am not certain about the size of or if I am pretty sure I know that it is going to be small, for example, jewelry or huds, I always create a prim first and rez the object on top of it.  It's a lot easier for me to delete that prim than to have to search inside a floor or in the ground for an object.

[Vladi Hazelnut]

And if its scripted and you have region powers you can find it in the top scripts debug menu. or an object finder works too when all else fails

You're quite welcome, Miss Venus!  This has helped me many times when this has happened!

If you have trouble camming into walls and floors, you can turn on wiremode -- helped me find birds that kept going inside a floor when I rezzed them them.  If I am going on a "treasure hunt" to find all the stuff that winds up underground, I look for it in wiremode.
