Hello. I am about to join a new smaller parcel with my bigger parcel and I wondering what the proper order is to maintain all of my existing parcel settings. Do I select a piece of my existing parcel first, dragging over to the new parcel and JOIN, or do I start on the new parcel and end my selection on the bigger original parcel?

I know doing it one way overwrites the other, I just cant remember which.

Thanks in advance for any assistance. I would hate to get this screwed up.

The Knowledge Base says...

From: someone
Note: The combined parcel will take its name and settings from the parcel you first selected.

I am bumping you to an 8.5 on the Official Trout Measuring Instrument of Sluttiness. You are an enigma - on the one hand a sweet, gentle, intelligent woman who we would like to wrap up in our arms and protect, and on the other, a temptress to whom we would like to do all sorts of unmentionable things.

Congratulations and shame on you! You are a bit of a slut.

Awesome. Finally something I could have found in the Knowledge Base and didn't look. Sorry, and thanks for the reply. ; )

I've messed this up, because it's so counterintuitive. When linking prims together, the root prim is the last prim you select, so I naturally did the same thing with joining land and had to go in and reset everything. Ah well. Thanks for posting the question so others don't make the same mistake.

Also, not all settings are preserved. Notably, and this is just off the top of my head, even if both parcels have autoreturn enabled with the same time limit it will be disabled in the joined parcel.

The converse is true, if you split a parcel with autoreturn enabled, neither of the new parcels will have it switched on.
