I am relatively new to SL. I have some ideas for homes and sky boxes and have made a few of them.
I have searched and read everything I could find but still need some guidance.

1. I have a 20 by 30 structure. EVERYTHING links except the 2 ends of the 30m piece. I have unlinked and linked in different combinations. I still can't get it to work.

2. I know how to put it all in a box to sell, but how do I set it up to auto rez with all the parts in place for the new owner?

(I have read much about scripting but just can't make any sense of it. I need to buy something that I can slip into the packages)

3. I need to have teleport options to the sample models. (I am technically challenged that again I need to buy something rather than script it.)

I think there may be a market for my products, I just need help in how to mae it happen. I have an empty 1024m lot so I can set up my own store

Thanks in advance.

Shorten the build by 1 meter, so the centers of the end pieces are no more than 30M apart, and you may get it all to link.

2. I know how to put it all in a box to sell, but how do I set it up to auto rez with all the parts in place for the new owner?
Get a copy of Builder's Buddy, or one of the paid-for versions like Rez-Foo. These allow you to assemble pieces of a complex build, have them rez in a position relative to a single prim rez box, and then you can move or rotate the whole build by moving the box.

3. I need to have teleport options to the sample models. (I am technically challenged that again I need to buy something rather than script it.)
Check out the free teleporters that Cubey Terra gives away at his aerodrome store.

Glad to help! And welcome to the building community.

You need a product like the Rez-Foo, or the cheaper Rez-Faux, to rez larger builds that can't be linked. They're pretty easy to set up, and totally easy for the customer.

The limit for linking is around 30m, sometimes it's less when there's small prims involved.

Oh, in the meantime you can also take the sections into your inventory as a whole by drag selecting the whole structure, and then taking it into you inventory. If you rez it in edit mode after that, you'll be able to move it as one piece.

Thanks for the replies. Now that the grid is back up, time to go shopping...
