Wow, building in SL just gets better and better : )

In the batch bake window settings. Try switching from Single Objects to Multiple Objects in Bake optimization or the reverse. I always gets best results if I render AO's with an AO-node attached to a simple lambert and just bake it as "light & color"

From my experience it's mostly the physics shape that really affect LI. Try using just a 3 vertex polygon as a physics shape and see how that goes.

Thanks so much for the align planar faces feature. I just orgasmed using it! More building tool features like this!
