OK I have a 30+ build to link....it's a pool or spa w/ water. I have tried to 'lasso' it and link it or link it prim by prim but when it's all said and done my water is no longer 'Phantom'. No matter what I do or what prim is last I can't seem to keep my water 'phantom'. It's ICE ack! Any tips?

If you have a phantom prim linked to a parent prim that is non-phantom, the whole linked set is non-phantom. The linkset is either all phantom or all non.

So I need to link the water last? I have seen pools...........*flashbulb* ahhhh I just realized why when I pic up pools and hot tubs the water is usually a separate prim left behind :) Don't link it at all :) Right?

Correct. Don't link the water prim to the rest. You can pick up the linked spa along with the seperate water prim, and have a single inventory object. But when you place it, that water remains a seperate part.

I had the same problem with my first attempt at making a spa. ;)

You're not getting it -- if all the other prims are NOT phantom, you CANNOT link the water to them, if you want to set the water prim as PHANTOM. It's all or nothing. If it's all linked, it's either all solid or all phantom...
