Yeah. I can't build worth crap. I'm trying to do a complex shape. Build by numbers, preferably. The shape is repetative in nature, with the same prim just moved and rotated many times, but I don't have the slightest idea how to do some of these rotations.

Can anyone give me a hand in world?

This can be done in the edit box by the numbers Mole. I believe on the object page bottom left you should see the entry tabs for x,y,z rotations.

Yeah, I know, but the trick is figuring out what those numbers should be. That's why I need help.

Ahh I see now. Well I'm no good at any kind of math but I know all the rotations I believe on a freshly rezzed prim are based on the SL Cardinal direction which for some reason is East. This would normally be 90 degrees but is referred to as 0 in the tabs. Don't quote me. Anyway, the rotations then can be adjusted in a +/- 360 degree fashion from the cardinal 0

No no no. I'm trying to get someone to teach me how to create something more complex than a dodecahedron. :p Not "How do rotations work?"

S'ok though, I think Xylor's going to just sell me one.

Ok sorry. I was kind of confused that you might not be aware of how they worked. Hope you find the help you need. :)
