Am using Blender 2.67. I have looked at the bounding boxes and while they both share the same dimensions the physics shape's bounding box is offset to various amounts on all three axis by roughly 50% on z, 10% on x and 1% on y. Given what you said though I think I know how to fix this. The bottom of my house/build below the actual 1st floor is empty and I didn't bother to fill it in the physics shape reasoning that it would be inaccessible in the final build and was only there to allow the house to be sunk into the land to align to any given landscape. I will fill in the bottom of the physics shape now and test it. Thanks for the reply Alisha

I'm building my first mesh house and have been happily following tips and tutorials to do it and solve problems along the way. I have though run into a problem that I can't readily find an answer to. I made a physics shape inworld by cladding the build in non-overlapping planes using the Celzium tool and exporting it out as a dae file. When I first uploaded the model onto the beta grid the physics shape was offset by .5m on the y axis. A little quick research suggested that it was because I wasn't importing the model as a single object. So I made the model all one object and uploaded it again. The .5m on the y axis did indeed disappear, but now I have a +.5m offset on the z axis and I'm at a loss as to what the problem maybe.

Now I understand why kids use l337 text, so they won't be FUCq1n9 C3n50r3D!

When you dodge a bullet yes, when you take one for someone else no; unless you picked a **bleep**ty job.

Yeah bad me, no big words as requested, just letters and an incompatible Tineye search, somebody will get it, but not the dumbass...and they know (or do they) that we know who they are.

To answer this question, In all likelihood it was not a child, but an adult using a child avatar so there most probably is no child involved. You cannot be a slave in SL. You cannot forcefully enslave anyone in SL without their permission. BDSM is not illegal between consenting adults in the U.S.A. the host country of SL's servers. Please refer to your own country's statutes on whether you are allowed to participate or observe such acts though.

If we want to play semantics can somebody define BDSM furniture? The OP states nothing more than that the child AV was being, "... tied up in BDSM furniture." This, from my limited knowledge (honestly), could be a chair, a St Andrew's Cross or any rough flat table I presume. All of which in themselves are not sexual objects unless there are some particularly weird fetishes out there. Therefore, we would have to know the name of the piece furniture in question and know for a fact, by observation or admission by those present at the time, what kind of scripts it contained. Otherwise it could just as easily be specualted that it was RP involving a child AV tied to a chair, however unsavoury that maybe to the overwhelming majority of us. I would advise that if your conscience is that troubled then report it, but don't be surprised if nothing happens due to the few facts that you've supplied.

Same as above, it's been happening to me over the past week and probably is the same recurring glitch that's happened before and will shortly resolve itself again too. I wish this bug would at least occur once with those who have chosen to show themselves as offline all of a sudden popping up as online. Now that would be popcorn drama.

A "few"? He's been drinking for three in recent years I think we can let loose the reins with this one, especially so seeing as he prefers doubles.

Interesting Tineye result on his penguins pic in his profile. http://mixoom.com/images/users/t/tester/torley/photos/2007/12/16-21-00-lezoo-100-130-22-d91bd0ae16612ebb259ce7671bab4a32_w.jpg

Lots of stuff in my time and I mean actually built by myself and you are quite welcome to come to my sim in InWorldz when I've finished it as that's where I build nowadays; cheaper and more prims. Not that that has anything to do with the matter as mine and other's opinions are just as valid even if they or I didn't even know how to rez a prim. We were arguing with the OP's assertion that this place was the best built sim in SL, which we know from our travels and experience that it patently is not. Buying other creators items and rezzing them out is not building and 90% of what I saw was other creators/builders items arranged out across the sim. If you think it's building then give Lillith Heart the credit for building the majority of the sim. Even when it was somebody else's custom made paving it wasn't even aligned properly in places! The few structures/houses that I saw actually built by the sim creator were unexceptional houses similar to almost any hunting lodge themed house you can see in SL, but even then they had incorporated full perm sculpties into it, which were not even textured or had a basic texture thrown on them showing bad seams and pinching all over them. I spent 20 minutes there looking around quickly and have posted below pics of some of the most obvious contradictory evidence to the OP's statement. Overall it's not a badly designed sim, but it is NOT as the OP asserts the best built sim and there is nothing there that is a must see. Nobody here wishes the sim owner/creator any ill will, but stating such a blatant lie and trying to promote that sim as the best built in SL as the OP did is at best uninformed, unexperienced hyperbole and at worse deceitful spam and promotion. Try getting it featured here or visit the places featured here to actually see some of the best built sims in SL https://secondlife.com/destinations?lang=en-US

Hmm, you know people will be making a judgement about you now based solely on your post?

I go away for two days and you become famous!

I go away for 2 days and you become famous! Didn't realise I dragged you down so much ;-)

I can't say what a pleasure this was...seriously, I can't.

Odd that they've sold out when there are 11 empty homes on my Linden Home sim. I'd wager a bet similar figures exist on other Linden Homes sims too.

Temp Attachments in particular. is pretty cool how it works in the vid is this the Next Big Thing? new welcome orientation islands that are fullon experience permissions immersions with proper learning stuffs and tuts? i hope so dont know for real. am just guessing The Next Big Thing = Marketplace working perfectly for 24 hrs.

What timescales are you operating to or what's your definition of a superstar? For instance, Chuck Brown, Donald Duck Dunn, Adam Yauch, Tommy Marth, Levon Helm and Davy Jones have all died after Whitney and before Donna Summer.

Apparently I have a trustworthy man to operate my right hand, but my left hand is sinister. Also, whichever I class as my first has knowledge whilst the second must have had a previous owner.

RL has been far too regulated & unfree @ least since the dawn of agriculture We go into SL in order to exercise complete freedom. An over exaggeration as you signed a ToS to do so. So? I do what I feel like in SL .. usually what I do conforms to the ToS but I dont really care if it does or not. LL can ban me if they want. I dont really care There is no "crime" in SL Yes there is. No there isnt. ...there is nothing to steal or vandalize Yes there is No there isnt Anyone can Role Play being a cop or dom or master or whatever .. & everyone else can simply ignore such control freaks. Yay a true fact! No, its an opinion. You have trubble distinguishing fact from opinion, dont you? Jeanne No. You have problems distinguishing human nature from an idealised text book fantasy. You talk a game, but you're like everybody else here, you obey all the rules everyday because for the most part you enjoy the protection and rewards from them and the protection it affords you from people who really "don't obey rules" and also because you're too chicken s h i t and/or lazy to do anything about it. You're part of the system now and every day you readily partake in it, enjoying all the benefits it gives you while looking down with faux pity on those who do the same as you. You're not a rebel, in reality you quietly acquiesced long ago to the point now where the only revolution left in you is a daily foray onto a tucked away internet forum to assert irrational and hypocritical thinking. What once may have been an idealist rebel is now only capable of non-sensical trolling. It is though amusing to read, like getting to the comic strips in the newspapers after all the adults have told us the important stuff and we need to laugh at the absurd. P.S. I really must stop quoting you, the spellchecker took nearly 5 minutes to go through your post. P.P.S. Don't expect a reply, I'm off out to spend some of my hard earned bucks oppressing a chef to cook for me for financial reward. Who do you think is need of less oppression, the Italians or the Chinese? It's the Chinese isn't it? Italian it is then, yum yum! P.P.P.S To the OP I'll be in Prezzo's at 6.30 if you want a head to head interview :smileywink:
