I'm deleting a piece of another item and I don't get the more option. Any other way?

If it's linked to other pieces you need to unlink it first.....

You cannot delete an item if you have the Edit Linked Parts option checked.

That prim is still apart of the object so you must unlink the prim you wish to delete (Edit Linked Parts > Select Prim(s) > Ctrl+Shift+L).

Right click > more > delete.

Best,

Why all this mention of right-click -> More - > Delete? Let me save you some clicks, guys. Simply select the object, and press the Delete key.

And Jaydin, yes, as others have stated, you can't delete an object while Edit Linked Parts is turned on. If you want to delete a prim that's part of a linkset, first unlink the prim from the set. Then select it and press Delete.

To delete part of a linked obect, you have to unlink the part you want to delete first. Select the part (or shift-select the parts) you want to delete then press ctrl-shift-L to unlink them. From there, you can just click on each part and press the delete key to get rid of them.

Because not all computers are created the same, and Delete on my computer differs from most. This ensures there is no confusion regardless of what machine the person is using.
