Why Can't I Walk on the Rocks? PDF Print E-mail

Unlike normal things in Second Life, walking on the rocks usually leads to unusual results. You can either find yourself walking *in* the rocks:

walking in the rocks

or walking in the air *over* the rocks:

walking over the rocks

This is because the rocks are "sculpties": odd prims in the Second Life system, and sculpties don't know where their boundaries are. The physical boundary, the surface that you walk on, is different than the visible boundary, the surface that you see. This leads to the odd efects.

We're now using these sculptie rocks more and more on the islands of New England, and we've begun to use "megaprim" (huge monster prim) sculpties, which can magnify the problem. They look wonderful and they vastly lower the number of prims needed, but they're not much fun to walk on.

If you'd like to have one of the rocky areas of your parcel suitable for walking on, here's what to do.
