show and hide water and prims

leave a comment

some of tips that i use all the time i like to mention from time to time in the blog. the ability to hide and show water and hide and show prims is a handy one for building. now that more people are getting into OpenSim and have their own sims (or even grids) this type of easy tip applies to more and more people

but it’s not only good for building. ever been in a really heavily built sim and are having a hard time locating a person?

if you hide all prims then they will be easier to see! they won’t have their prim hair, but it’s a handy way to find someone

now that we moved to our super duper new SimHost private grid (with 5 times the resources *zomg*) i took the chance to move some sims around

that’s a great thing with OpenSim – your OAR files. since they have the entire sim in them, you can rearrange them as you see fit! i decided to move our scripters over to the western side of the grid (“estate” i suppose in Second Life terms). James simply uploaded their OAR files in those spots and presto!

it means a bit of terraforming for me but i love it and use this hiding and showing dealio a lot =)

there are other things you can show and hide also, like the sky and Linden plants. in the Imprudence viewer these are under Advanced > Rendering > Types (to see the advanced menu do CTRL ALT D)
