There used to be lines on each side of a prim when editing / building that would show spaceing. Kind of like so you can space things apart from each other. I used to count the lines when putting up my wall prim vendors so that they were even. They would show up what ever way you clicked on the arrow but now they dont. I havent changed any of my settings so I'm wondering during a patch did they change the settings or how that works. I really miss them cause they helped alot. Could someone please tell me how I can get them back if they are still available in editing / building? I hope I explained it right. Thanks :)

Hey Zazas! :D

The lines you are talking about are called the "building grid." When you are in the edit mode window (Right click-> Edit), at the top of that, make sure the "show grid" box is checked. There is also a button you can press that you can specify how far the lines that snap the prims are apart from each other, but I'm not ingame so I cannot tell you the name of it. If you need anything else, feel free to IM me, even if I'm offline, I can still reply. :p

In addition to what nimrod said, also make sure the grid opacity is dark enough to be seen. With it at its lowest setting, they are practically invisible.
