Normal prims can't be smaller than 0.010m but there are ways around this limit. There's a sticky thread in the Building Tips forum about making tiny prims: http://forums.secondlife.com/showthread.php?t=191989 |

Keep in mind that each prim creates its own load on the server (fetching the prim data, at a minimum) and, I believe, on the client (drawing and updating each prim independently). So, if you're asking about the number of prims in a necklace or bracelet, you should be doing your best to keep it as small as possible, without regard to what the hard limit may be. |

The prim limit may also be controlled by the number of available prims left on the land upon which you are doing your building. You can't build a 255 prim linkset on a 512 m2 plot of land.

There's a sticky thread in the Building Tips forum about making tiny prims: /8/56/191989/1.html Here is a video tutorial about making tiny prims in case that is what you are asking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6XqQM9hgB0  |
