Any tips on building 1 BIG rock to use as a house foundation.

The house should follow the form of the rock.

I'm trying to keep the prim count down as well.

Thanks

Check out the rock forms in the library. I think it's in Objects under Landscaping, not positive. There are different sized rocks there, of a couple of different shapes. The "angular" shape seems a bit un-rock-like at first, but you can stretch and twist for different effects. The texture is nice, IMO. They are just 1 prim each piece, and a grouping of large-sized rocks that have intersections with each other goes a long way, I find.

Then you can ctrl/shift and grab the corner points (white squares) ..and drag it to a larger size.
There is a limit to how big you can stretch it though
