I had this smaller problem with linking a project..
A project that I have done several times - now a late update,.,. .and no no no no linking was allowed.. strange strange..
The thing I had added was - flexi..
So I took away flexi and linked it - no problem at all - added flexi to selected object. And it worked..
Is this how I must do it.. make parts flexi.. then uncheck the flexi box and then link and then do the flexi again?

I'm unclear on how you're reproducing this, PetGirl — I'll move this to the Building forum to see if you can get more help.  If you've worked it through carefully and think it's a bug, please send a bug report: Help menu > Report Bug. |

I believe PetGirl is attempting to link two or more flexible primitives together.
If I remember correctly, one cannot link two flexible primitives together, only flexible to non-flexible or non-flexible to non-flexible. Can anyone confirm if one can or cannot link two flexible primitives together?

Hummm. I would have to 'dissect' one of the flexi tails that I have, once I get in-world, to be certain. But from what I recall, while they may have several flexi parts all coming from a single root location, they all seemed to have a very small prim at the base of the tail, that all the parts linked to. I suspect that prim, from its tiny size and spherical shape, is NOT flexi. So we would be looking at a number of flexi parts, not linked to each other, but to a non-flexi tail base.

One may link flexi and non-flexi objects together in any combination. I just tried and it works fine.
However, I've seen a bug where the "link" menu item remains grayed out (not selectable) even when all the selected items are non-flexible. Most often simply deselecting and re-selecting all the prims again will make it work.

flexi is a client effect so I would think the server could link only on the non - flexible end.

Links are between prims, not prim "ends".

From: Peekay Semyorka Links are between prims, not prim "ends". Right, but if you link a non-flex to a flex, the visual spacial relationship between the two will only be maintained for the fixed end of the flex prim. That is the non-flex end won't move with the flex end, since it's moving only on the client. |

I have been able to link flexi objects by linking the entire build with no flexible path first. It is easier to see all the prims where they belong any way. I do experiment with a prim first to see where the path is and make sure I know where it's going to "fall". Then take the numbers from that one, uncheck the flex path box. Link all prims, go into "edit linked parts" and put the path on individually. Yeah it takes a while and can be a pain, but it works.
