Small building question that's probably been asked a million times already
Dante Grayson Junior Member Join date: 3 Jun 2004 Posts: 4	06-12-2004 11:34 Hi guys, Rookie here with just a small question - is there a way to cut out a section of a prim (I.E. For a window, door, etc) or do I really have to create excess prims around the opening I want? Seems to me there should be a way to cut out a hole, but I just don't see it. Thanks.

The odd one out is the sphere, doing hollow with that will make a hollow space inside with no visible surface divisions. So with sphere, use cut begining and end, and Dimple. _____________________ Mirada.smartHUD - The new way to control your avatar and the world around you - In Mirada, Hairspray (22,63,51) or find me in world!
