Are they in the same sim?
Two ways, select all and take into inventory, or number editing:
1. Select all.
- In tools, make sure "Select Only My Objects" has an X next to it.
Now hit control-3 (or command-3 on a Mac), and draw a box over everything (cam out so you can get the entire build on screen).
- Once you've got it all selected, right-click to the pie window and choose take.
Go to you new place, and rez it.
There are some risks involved if in rezzing you rez part of it outside the boundaries of where you can rez things...
(If you know how to work with Builder Buddy, you can solve that by having Builder Buddy rez it for you, but that could take a lot of prep work.)
2, Number editing
Editing the numbers is a painful way, but it works.
You can link things together if you're confident in knowing what to unlink later.
What I do, and I just did it this morning to move my Zindra shop (yes, I finally bought a small plot there this weekend):
Rez a 1 prim item and sit on it - in the middle of the floor of the home. Move it with edit so the X and Y are whole numbers. Write down its numbers.
Rez another chair where I want my stuff to be. Make its numbers whole numbers.
Write down the difference in the numbers between the two things.
Edit everything else's numbers up or down by that difference. This assumes that when you edit X or Y, you won't land in a parcel that won't let you build there...
- If that is the case... you'll need to use the take method.

If the two parcels are relatively close, there's the direct approach.
1. Select an item.
2. Holding SHIFT, drag a selection box around the build, selecting ALL the items.
3. Check carefully. Make sure you haven't selected something you DON'T want to move. Make sure you HAVE selected everything you DO want to move.
4. Check again...turn on Show Transparent with CTRL+ALT+T and drag your selection box again, capturing any transparent prims that escaped your first sweep.
5. And check AGAIN...do any of the objects belong to your friends or partner? If so, make sure you have permission to edit their objects, and be sure they're selected too.
6. In the Advanced menu, turn off Limit Select Distance.
7. Grab a movement arrow on the mass selection and drag the whole assembly to its new location.
8. Check one more time for anything that didn't get moved, and scoot it over too.

From: Eliot Douglas Thank you both! only Im trying to move to a different SIM OK, you'll have to pack up. There are several ways to do this. One is just to select everything as I described above, and then Take it. You'll get a "coalesced object" in your inventory, with a symbol like a little pile of cubes. Rez it at your new location. There are variations...for example, take your furniture into inventory piece by piece, and re-rez and reposition it at the new location. You can box up your house, with a "rezzer" like Rez Foo or Rez Faux. This involves putting a script into the root prim of each linkset, and then taking a COPY of the linkset into your inventory. Then put the copy into the rezzer box. When all the pieces are in there, take the rez box. Put it out at your new location, and click Rez Me. Poof! Everything appears and slides into position. When satisfied with the positioning, Save the build and delete the rez box.

Before rezzing a "coalesced object", it's a good idea to go into edit mode first. CTRL/3 as above.
That way, the rezzed coalesced object will still be a single object in edit mode - so you can position it properly. That takes care of parts of it being rezzed in an adjoining parcel - as I remember.
Once out of edit mode or if you just rez, you'll be left with a bunch of independent objects.

From: Eliot Douglas Thank you !
What will happen to objects that are not mine (belong to my partner). Some are not transfer too? Some are group owned DO NOT try to take all of that up at once! Not if there are multiple owners! Stuff that is group owned needs to be sold back to an individual by a group offiicer capable of doing so, then taken into their inventory, and needs to be re-positioned at the other end as a seperate action. Stuff owned by your Partner can not be taken into your inventory along with the rest. They should take those items back into their own inventory, themselves, and re-rez them at the new location. Your stuff that is no-copy should be taken back into your inventory as individual items, and not as part of the en-masse selection, or you're risking losing everything if there's any glitches when you try to rez it back in the new sim. In most cases, the new parcel and the old one will have different terrain, and other factors that make moving the whole home, contents and all, a rather moot point. You're better off treating it like a real move, packing each item individually. Pack up the furniture and decorations, then pack the empty house, then rez the house at the far end, and put things back individually.

Good points from Ceera...I oversimplified, I'm afraid.
There should be very few group-owned objects, although many may be "set" to group...you still own those. Only a few scripted things like radios and TVs are typically deeded to the group.
Note that when you re-rez your objects on your new sim, you should wear your new group tag (I'm assuming you're renting, and have a tenants' group). This will insure the objects are set to the new group and won't get auto-returned, if the estate owner or you has set the parcel properties to do that.
Don't Take your partner's objects, even if you have edit permissions on them. It may change the permissions. Let them take the things themselves. You can set your selection tool to Select Only My Objects to prevent grabbing others' stuff by mistake.

From: Eliot Douglas Hello,
Does anybody know how to move a house from one parcel to another while preserving custom textures, furniture positions , etc
Thanks a lot Judging from all the palaver you have to go through according to the experts above it's prolly simpler to just start all over again. I know I would. Or get someone to do it for you. And next time leave the roof off and stairs coz you dont need them. Just basic structure which is computer and Linden friendly. Dont try and re-create reality - its not possible. Keep it as metaversed as possible.

Personally, stairless houses annoy when they have multiple levels. You can't toss your partner over your shoulder and teleport to the bedroom with them.  |

Keep it as metaversed as possible. I've made both realistic houses and open-air floating garden platforms. Both have their uses, and their fans. These days, there IS a use for roofs and walls, though. It's not clear that you can have sex on your private Mature parcel in an open, visible area. A flat plate at 500m, or a garden on the ground, is every bit as much a "private residence" as a two story brick house...but LL's pronouncements say "behind closed doors", which sort of implies walls and roofs too.

From: someone 2009/09/21 11:13] Pussycat Catnap: Now I know people will groan at me for beating this dead horse: but I assume that I could have a photo-nude poster in say, a private skybox on an unadvertized plot of land? (and likewise a sexbed there, that I made use of) [2009/09/21 11:14] SK_____: ) [2009/09/21 11:14] JC_____: Yes [2009/09/21 11:14] Blondin Linden: Pussycat, no one is gunna see [2009/09/21 11:14] Blondin Linden: [2009/09/21 11:14] SK_____: yes you can [2009/09/21 11:14] CL_____: groans [2009/09/21 11:14] TB_____: In fridays meeting, (unfortunately I had to go AFK a lot) it was mentioned that people could sell sex furniture and animations without an adult flag. It was also said that people could DEMO said items as long as they were clothed, but how can you enforce that, I've been to SOOO many places and people are having full sex, naked, in the shop. And keeping in mind places like Neva have the sex area too, have they been dealt with yet?. [2009/09/21 11:14] Pussycat Catnap: No one will see, except the rez day newbie I found in there a few weeks ago. Not sure how she got there, but there she was. [2009/09/21 11:14] SK_____: rofl [2009/09/21 11:14] IZ_____: unless you're publicly promoting acts of necrophiliac BSDM against horses.. [2009/09/21 11:14] JC_____: lol [2009/09/21 11:14] Blondin Linden: now, beating a dead horse on the other hand, that might be considered ADult [2009/09/21 11:15] CL_____: Neva turns up in PG search for the furniture store, not sure what's going on there [2009/09/21 11:15] Blondin Linden: horse [2009/09/21 11:15] QN_____: Pussycat: did you charge her for lessons? [2009/09/21 11:15] Blondin Linden: depending on how realistic the hourse was [2009/09/21 11:15] PC_____: so all those people we had to move for so they wouldn't see any sex.. can go to a furniture store to see all the sex they want... [2009/09/21 11:16] RB_____: Furniture is evil  [2009/09/21 11:16] Blondin Linden: who has sex in a furniture store? Next time I'll ask about gazebos, sky gardens, and ground plots... Also, ground level homes that have windows... You'll note that the answer is based on whether or not I'm seen, not on whether if seen, I'm still ok... |

You'll note that the answer is based on whether or not I'm seen, not on whether if seen, I'm still ok... Yes. Blondin is dissimulating again. I remember that exchange. Note the two things he says: "No one's gonna see" (But what if they DO? He never says.) "Who has sex in a furniture store?" (Noobs will have sex ANYWHERE there is a set of poseballs.) The other day, my partner and I were enjoying an interlude in our house. I noticed an av come into chat range. I cammed out...some guy in a wheelchair. He hung around a while, moving in and out of chat range (we were in IM). Then he left. My thoughts were, "OMG, I forgot to close the windows!" and "OMG, I wonder if this guy is an AR vigilante?" So much for a safe and predictable SL experience, thank you so much LL.
