I once saw a movie... where Philip and a guy (I think it was one of the ones that can ”edit”. or behind it....-)) showed things that was possible in SL..

The guy made a circle out of brick by a step and repeat - something... the many bricks lined up perfectly around a middle object...

How do you do that by using edit and build.. ??

For example place a ball in the middle and let ma jong brick line up - with air between them around the ball (in the middle).. ??????

Please some...

Tina/feed up on Easter food and candy... need to use her body by heavy working to not get fat in SL:-))

It's the undo trick.

1) create 2 prims about 5m from each other, they should have the same height
2) select them both
3) shift-drag to create a copy. now what many people don't know is that you drag the original and a new copy is rezzed it its old place
4) hit ctrl-z to undo the move of the original pair
5) hold ctrl and rotate around the blue/z axis
6) repeat from step 3

You'll notice that you can use the grid to make them align nicely
