I'm looking for a tool/utility that will produce a report listing all the objects on a land parcel, the location of each object, the owner and how many prims each has. I've got prim counters that count up all prims owned by an avi but don't provide object details (About Land does this too). I have a tool that will do this for a single avi at a time but it only finds objects within chat range, so you have to repeat the process dozens of times on a SIM. I've searched XStreet and in-world, checked out some tools vendors, but no luck yet. Does anyone know of such a tool, or one that might get close to meeting all my requirements? Or is it impossible to do and I should just settle for the one I have now. Thanks!

I don't know of such a tool, but it's certainly possible to make one. On the other hand, it's not going to be lag-free when it's running because it will have to move a sensing probe around the parcel, sensing in a 96m radius sphere, all the way up to 4096m altitude to be sure of catching everything. That's a fair amount of moving around and scanning. (One could push a bot around, too, but that's no better because the bot still has to get close enough to be sure even a microscopic prim would be on its interest list.)
I'd be surprised if somebody hasn't made that scripted scanner; the scripting is dead simple, but the geometry to optimize the moving and scanning... undoubtedly a solved problem but not a solution I know.
Note, by the way, that at sim scale, that could be one monstrous huge report... probably better hosted on a web server than dumped to chat.

Could still be incredibly useful, though -- I'd love one myself. The About Land box is fine for most things, but a little lag would be worth it for those times About Land lists prims that you can't find anywhere.

I think Tomas Connover has one in his shop. Reminds me to get one. Yes they can be laggy, but surely you won't keep it out and active all the time.
i usually clean my sim once a week and a gadget that shows me every object would sure come in handy.

Thomas Conover doesn't sell this type of tool, at least not close to my requirements. He does have an object finder and it's very useful at finding individual objects, but you can only access information one object at a time (it doesn't produce a list of everything found, location, prim count, owner for all objects found), which is a pain if you have a couple of hundred or more objects on your SIM that you're trying to measure and list. So, I'll inquire to a few developers I know here who may be interested in working on a commission or whatever to produce this.

In reply to Qie Niangao:
Thanks for the post and useful comments. Thomas Conover's "Advanced Object-Scanner HUD" does seem to have all the scripting for SIM spidering for object finding, but the output isn't useful for overall parcel object/prim management - it's main use is for finding lost or hidden objects, for which it does a great job and has a slew of different scanning options for parcels and SIMs range, owners, etc. A tool that sort of comes close to my requirements is "PrimChecker v1.0.5 [CDRU]" by Charliedru Lannock, but it only finds things within chat distance and I don't think it finds hidden objects, but the output is what I'm looking for - it lists each object, location and prim count on a single line in chat, so this is easy to grab and paste into Excel for further manipulation and management. I think a marrying of the 2 tools would go a long way to get me what I need.
