.0005 adjustments

Ok maybe someone has figured this out and can help me. I am building a house, a mansion really. and I have made my walls with a .2 thickness and 9.7 height and varying widths. I am entering in the coordinates of each wall manually and getting pretty quick at it. I still have seams between some, not all of my walls. I zoomed in on an intersection to see if possibly my math was off and it wasn't. The wall looked to be off position from the other, it wasn't .001 off because that was too much of a move. I played with repeats on my wall, .02H which looked perfect but when I put the wall back I still had seams. and not all the walls are like this, just one or two sections. I even deleted those sections and rebuilt them, still seams.

Is there any way to move by .0005? anyone know if lindens are developing this???

You can get more precision using scripts for your positions, but at some point the seams will always be there.

If you have things that are rotated, then when the graphics engine rotates things into place, it does so using rotations that have float precision (I'm guessing, but I would be very surprised if this wasn't true). So inaccuracies can be introduced even if the input data is mathematically precise.

Hmm, looks like yet another nerf to precision in 1.7. It used to be we could type in decimals much longer than just 3 for location and size. Now everthing gets rounded. I don't even want to know how many of my builds must now be broken because of this. Rage building... Skin turning green... Hulk want to smash Linden Lab!

That makes sense, because I tried to move it by .0005 and it moved it by .001 instead, but actually it didn't move at all. Weird, I don't like it. Math should rule in building in this game!!!

It DOES rule...
It's just Discrete Math, not Continuous.

My suggestion, as much to the contrary of how i feel this game should be, is to zoom in as close as you can (luckily something that works better with 1.7 now) and manually fix your seams. The numbers are never going to be consistent in building. I relied completely on numbers for the first year i was in SL, but around version 1.4 it just became a crap shoot. Where i used to be able to easily build completely seamless builds i was now...well...doing the opposite. I finally figured out that the further you zoom in with your camera the more precise your movements will become. Precise enough to fix these little seams. It IS a hastle and it should NOT be the fix...but it works and it is.

You can also just try brute forcing the correct values in (something that works better on rotations). Say you want something at 45.001 but it's going to 45.0005 try putting 45.00100000. It'd dodgy and not too reliable, but it has fixed a few things for me in the past.

Well I still get the differences to the positions by .0005 so I put it in the SL Vote, spend your votes for this and maybe LL will do something about it

Just hang a picture over it, no one'll notice..

In all seriousness its extemely hard to not get seams..
