A little bit more about the tree house :
Some may wonder about why I decided to call it "Denmark". In my early days of building I had the habit to name my items after the girl that means most for me in this virtual reality , but after a while it turned out that it doesn't really help with the inventory mess , I only spliced it in two different names ... "Object" and "she knows who I mean"
.So it became time to choose a different name , and I came up with two thoughts, I wanted a name that shows the internationality of the virtual world , yet I wanted to devote that tree house to that special person.
So all of my further buildings will get a name from a country where someone comes from who means much for me.
I build the tree house also with some other thoughts , as an alternative way to live rather than in a box of steel and concrete , to feel a bit of nature and wildness , freedom but also the roughness it can bring us.
It is my vision of a tree house, a big strong tree with a hut , some walkways and platforms . More than just some rough planks , but not a "normal" typical house with , bedroom , bathroom , lounge , pool , kitchen , wallpapers and locking doors ...
It was built to inspire your fantasies and dreams , so I have not included places where your bath or kitchen should be , no walls inside the huts that only force you to thoughts like "OK , here is the only place to put up the bed".
But the only thing I hope is you enjoy it as much as I do, and have the same fun living in it.
Fast set up:
* Rez the box named "Tree house Denmark" on the land where you want to set up it. Do not open and unpack it. There is no need to go in edit mode and move it. It will automatic detect the land borders and move into the right rezzing place , simply by touching it.
* Touch the red box until it is all green, the blue ring around it will be used later to rotate it.
* The box is all green and will snap to a bigger size , the actual rez procedure starts now. Press the "Rez" button in the blue popup menu , if it does not open touch the green box again.
* Wait until the tree house is rezzed . You can rotate it by 90 degrees now , simply by touching the blue ring. The tree house should be placed in its right and supposed height , ignore the hovering stone platform for now.
* Click "Save" or "Store" in the blue menu (touch the green box again if you closed it). After that you can delete the green box.
* Now its time to set up the elevator. Go in edit mode, and move the hovering stone platform down to the ground , do not rotate it , simply straight down. Move them down that much , that at least the upper side of the first platform looks completely out of the ground.
* Fly up to the lowest hut in the tree house . Touch the door/curtains frame and a blue pop up menu will open. Click "Low" or "High" , that will rez either the low or high detail version from the tree house , and a new and reset elevator. Touch the elevator , it will drive down really fast and come up again after a few seconds and will be ready to use.
* Congratulations , you have set up the house and if all worked out normally , you can start to decorate your new home , and hopefully enjoy it that much as I had while building it and living in it.
If you have any more questions , feel free to contact me. I like suggestions and feedback and can use it to improve my products.
