I'm just getting started owning land, and I just recently built a starter home for a friend - problem is it was a huge pain to actually make it so that she owned it and could keep it up! In the end I had to save it to my inventory folders in two large chinks and have her then carefully put the pieces back. Now it's impossible for me to easily make small updates without her losing her decorating... there has to be a better way!
Please please, all architects, realtors, interior decorators and builders for hire, what do you all do in cases like this?

Firstly, it's handy to know that you can select more than one linked set and take them into your inventory in one object so they are always right when you re-rezz them. I have a 400 piece (thats links, not prims), 4096m square building in my inventory as one object. It rezzes just fine
 So you could have drag-selected your house and took it, or a copy of it, and then she wouldnt have needed to put it together. For me, I rarely keep copies of builds I do for people, so I tend to build it in place, link it, then just set the original pieces for sale for $0 each, making sure mod and copy is set on them all, so that ownership is wholly transferred to them without having to move a thing. _____________________

OMG that's so simple! Thank you so much that's exactlly what I needed! ^_^;; _____________________

What Kris said...
When you're done with your build.. take a copy of each part (I link my homes into large sections when finished) to keep in your inventory as insurance against an big 'Oops'. Then open up all the permissions on the parts, and set each one for sale for $0, making sure to sell the ORIGINAL. If you set for sale a COPY.. it will just dump a copy of it in thier inventory, but the rezzed structure will still be yours. So, set for sale to original. Anyway, I'm really just regurgitating what Kris said.  |

Just another tip... If you build starter homes for people, it's nice to include the textures you used with the home. That way they can expand or modify the build however they like without having to change all the textures because they don't have the right flooring or wall or window, assuming they keep them as they are. Placing a notecard inside stating what offsets and repeats the textures are set at is also helpful to allow them to line up textures.
