Builds (36 objects containing 1,230 primitives) created when using the Standard Mac Viewer are not displayed on any SL Viewer if the distance is greater than about 128 meters. This was tested with draw distance set at 512 meters in an almost empty private sim and creating cubes 8x8x8 meters using the latest Standard Windows Viewer, the latest Standard Mac viewer, and the Cool SL Viewer. The cubes created when using the Standard Windows Viewer and the Cool SL Viewer could be seen as far away as 512 meters, the one created with the Standard Mac Viewer could only be seen from about 128 meters. This bug was reported in JIRA and recorded under: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-9527

What version of the Standard Mac Viewer are you referring to?

This seems strange, as iirc the client doesn't send primitive data, it only sends a request to create a cube with whatever relevant values, the simulator attempts to apply these to the primitive as it sees it, and then sends the updated primitive to any clients in range.
So the viewer you use shouldn't make any difference, unless the particular viewer you're using happens to enable an option by default that the others do not, which may affect draw-distance.

Did the same tests with viewer 1.21.6.99587 and all appears to work fine now. The cubes which were built with previous viewer versions are still not showing up at 512 meters. How about if viewer 1.19.1.4 did not send its ID together with the relevant values for the cubes. I know that someone who inspected the cubes said something about the cubes not showing any viewer date. But then I don't know if objects store the ID of the viewer with which they were created.
