Hi there
When you have a parcel of land and you buy another plot that's next to it - how can you join the 2 parcels without losing the settings (description, picture, ban list etc. etc.) of the original parcel?
I did this once (so that the 'new' plot simply took on the same 'about land' settings as the parcel to which I joined it) but I can't remember how!

When in doubt, sub-divide and experiment... I seem to recall that it works backwards from how selecting prims for a linked object works... instead of the last prim becoming the parent, it's the first parcel selected that has it's settings retained. (mostly, some settings like auto-return get wiped during 'joins') I could be remembering incorrectly, it may be the last parcel selected that determines most of the settings. Like I said above... hack off a few test parcels and experiment to make sure you have it right!

I just joined 2 parcels and wanted to keep the parcel settings of one. I thought if I selected "edit land" on the parcel I wanted to keep the settings from then joined to the other parcel it would work.
Instead it kept the setting of the 2nd parcel I joined to.
So it would seem it works as follows:
1) Parcel A has settings you wish to keep.
2) Parcel B you want to join to A.
3) Right click Parcel B and select "Edit Land" option
4) Drag selection box from Parcel B across boundary to parcel A.
5) Click Join Land.
Hopefully this will retain the settings of Parcel A.
But as others have already said, when in doubt, experiment first.

It is a hierarchy thing, or it used to be. It may have changed but the way you used to do it would be when you draw the square to join them, make sure you start on the piece where you want to keep the settings, then drag over to the one that doesn't have the settings you want before you click join.

aaah - well thanks for the replies! I have worked it out.
You stand on the parcel whose settings you wish to keep.
Right click and choose edit terrain on that same parcel and the drag the selection onto the land you wish to ADD to it. Then press join. Et Voila! One bigger parcel with all your settings intact.
