There is a new Low Prim exhibit at the University of Second Life Libary, on the second floor. Includes examples of reducing the number of prims in your build. Suggestions and additional examples are much appreciated!
Check it out. Montara (50,50)

Originally posted by Hank Ramos Check it out. Montara (50,50) Just a hint, give coordinates of the entrance! Landing on the roof when there is no entrance from the roof is BS. Also consider making the windows phantom so it is easy to get it. Or am I missing the point and it is really a game of trying to get in to the building? Not that this SOP in SL.  _____________________

The Library really needs a redesign by somebody other than a coder I'll find a way to make entering easier. BTW, if anyone is interested in building a better looking looking library structure, let me know  |

My standard method of getting into a building when the landmark column ends on the roof:
1. Fly as fast as you can to the point, so that the surroundings haven't rezzed before you get there. 2. Alt-click the crowd of people (if an event) or the ground (if not) and zoom into the interior of the building before the roof rezzes. 3. Right click on the first object that rezzes below the roof, and 'Sit Here' 4. Relax, and let the client/server work out how your avatar gets to sitting on the selected surface. 5. Stand up. You are now IN THE BUILDING! Works great for Tony's Tropics Casino. _____________________
