If I'm correct, a single "phantom" prim in a group of prims will make all the prims phantom when they're linked. I linked a 100 prims structure, forgetting that one or two prims were phantom, and now I think all 100 prims are phantom.
My question: Is there any shortcut to make all the prims non-phantom -- something easier than unlinking and going to each individual prim and changing it from phantom?
Thank you.

select the object and in edit uncheck phantom.
if you need to have two prims phantom, after making the whole linked set non-phantom, with edit open you will still need to unlink, however, just 'shift' click the prims that should be phantom which will unselect them, then link the rest together as they will be still selected. Make the prims phantom that should be and they can be linked separately. Then you just have to take the object back to inventory in the two parts.

Thank you. Hi Flieger, short answer is no, unfortunately there is no shortcut to finding a phantom prim in a linked set. However you can find it by right clicking on the linked set and choosing the "edit linked part" check box. Then you just simply start clicking on parts with the edit window open on the objects tab. You will soon see (unless your on my slow connection) the prim with the phantom box checked. Hope this helps!

Thank you very much for the helpful information. I should have the job done by the end of the day. . . unless I keep knocking parts of my Viking ship out of alignment as I work.
I appreciate your help!

Amazement

I am amazed to realize that it's impossible to have any phantom parts -- such as a fluttering flag -- on a moving solid vehicle. As far as I can tell, a flexi path prim is automatically phantom, and a single phantom prim makes an entire linked object phantom. I hope SL changes this someday, as they expanded the linking limit.
Thanks again for the help.
