Unless I am doing something wrong, when I am standing on land where i cannot create objects, the only way I have found to pull out objects is to go over to some other land, and then take it out there. I guess this is okay most of the time, but when im trying to attach objects to my body, it can get somewhat annoying....as I have to leave the area and come back.....

Anyway, my suggestion is this. In the invenotry/objects window, I say, add another right click option to attach it to you body, this way it goes straight on, and you dont have to go anywhere. it would be kind of neato :D

Another thing, I think we should be able to attach objects to more parts of the body than we currently can, for instance the hips, knees, elbows, and neck (adding neck attachments would be cool, this way we could have a head attachment as well).

Anyway, that is all I have to say.

I think is that you can only attach objects to parts of the body that ARE individual objects. Knees and elbows are connections between parts of the body.

Now that would mean that we should be able to attach objects to both the upper arm and forearm, and both the shin and thigh. Which would be a very good idea.

You also mentioned neck, and I think that would probably be possible too.

Ok when someone buys land they can set it so that other users can't create stuff. And your idea would be good (the one with the right click and the object gets made and attachs right away.

Another idea would be the ability to set a "Preferred Attachment" bit on the object, so that you could just drag the object out of your inventory onto your avatar, and it'd be attached to the point you specified. You could still attach it to other points, to be sure, but one point could be set as the default for a quick drag-n-drop.
