Building Shortcuts

[Lexie Linden]

This thread would be a great place to discuss building shortcuts. Dive in!

 I assume you mean keyboard shortcuts so I will paste some in that I found in a notecard today whilst cleaning my inv.

B = Build Mode

Ctrl+1  = Focus

Ctrl+2  = Move

Ctrl+3 - Edit

Ctrl+4 = Create

Ctrl+5 = Land

Shift and Drag Copy object in edit

Ctrl+Z = Undo (once while in edit)

Ctrl+L = Link (selected objects in edit)

Ctrl+Shift+L = Unlink (selected objects in edit)

Ctrl+U = Upload Image

Ctrl+Shift+3 = Texture Console

Ctrl+Alt+T = Highlight Transparent

since we're being literal.....

shift+g (reference mode, with the currently selectid prim as the ruler)

ctrl+z (undo, great for undoing moves of shift dragged items to resore position)

ctrl+y (redo)

 

ctrl+alt+D (debug menu, needs to be open in V2 for some shorcut keys to work)

ctrl+alt+shft+T (send prim texture information to chat history. if a single side is selected it gives you the side number, which is useful for scripts)

show develop menu (located in debug meno on v2, needs to be open for the previous trick to work)

 

use the alignment textures listed here to help you texture your prims more accurately, and learn to use planar mapping mode.

learn to use reference mode in build.... it'll double your building speed almost instantly

strongly consider using a TPV client to build with, as they have better tools, like Align Prims, Align Planar Textures, and higer displayed precision to numbers, and some let you inmport/export your own creations to your HD, and automatically select different default properties for type, textures, embeded contents, etc.
