I think, my question is pretty simple to answer. If I build objects how can i connect them to a bigger more complex one???

Select them all,
EDIT MENU, and LINK
...provided that you own them all, of course

Ctrl-L to link prims
02-07-2007 15:56
Ctrl-L is the keyboard shortcut to link prims. Of course, the menu item "link" works perfectly well too, as previously mentioned. Some people like knowing the keyboard shortcuts, though, so I thought I'd chime in.

Is there a way around the limit on the size of objects? I wish to make single-piece buildings, but this does not seem to be possible within the game mechanics.

Individual prims are limited to 10M in any one dimension. Linked groups of prims can be no more than 30M center to center for the farthest two objects. No one linked group of objects can exceed 256 prims (or something close to that).
To create something larger, like a 40M wide x 50M deep x 40M tall three-story building with a peaked roof and over 600 prims, make large linksets for sections of the build, and use some scripted solution like Rez-Foo or Builder's Buddy to set up and align the pieces.

After clicking edit on a prim, hold down the shift key and either click each additional prim individually ( I find that best) or drag the mouse and thus a box around all the remaining prims. CRL+L will link the prims so they are one piece. Ctrl+Shift+L will unlink them again. When linking prims the last prim selected before linking them will become the root prim.
The root prim is used for all sorts of things but actions used on this linked object of multiple parts, such as rotation will use this last prim as a reference. Also with builders buddy/rezfoo(sp), rez faux, this is the prim you put the client script in.
hope this helps
