On my RC Viewer I have no Tools menu, can you tell me how to make it show, please?
Got Advanced menu, and on normal viewer got both, think I used Ctrl-Alt- ?, I've forgot.
Love

If you click "Build", the Tools menu becomes visible.

IF you are in a No-Build parcel, you can't do things like
- Take Copy of a Free to Copy object
- Uncheck Select My Objects Only so that you can see the Creator/Owner of an object
- All sorts of useful things.


I suspect that some moronic UI 'designer' decided that Tools were irrelevant unless you were actually building.

It's a triumph of form over function.

On no build land you can press any of ctrl-1 through ctrl-5 to get at the elusive menu.

Talk about a regressively useful feature. Sure make things less accessable :(
