Tips for beginner/intermediate Second Life builders

Here are my favorite building tips for Second Life. These tips and tricks will save you time and help you create more efficient, accurate builds. Good information for beginning or intermediate level builders. Topics covered include cloning items, using the SL building grid, local vs world coordinates, alt-zoom, editing linked objects, and other useful info.

A note for Mac users. Whenever I mention the ALT key in this video you’ll need to use the OPTION key. When I mention the CTRL key you’l need to use the COMMAND key. It has been a while since I’ve used a Mac so let me know if this info is incorrect. :)

Feel free to post your own building tips in the comments, or your ideas for my next SL building tutorial…

Vlad,
Thank you so much for taking the time to create your 10 Building Tips for Beginners/Intermediates and publishing it on the Real World web. As a SL Noob who hasn’t made it off Orientation Island yet, I really appreciate your abilities and techniques. I’ve heard that many people use Second Life as an environment just to socialize or act out inappropriate agressive behavior. I’ll be sure to visit and subscirbe to the Shiny Life groups as soon as master the basics. It’s good to know of a safe and welcoming community.
Thanks again!

Hi Quasar. I’m so glad that you found this video helpful. You’ll find that Second Life is not all about griefers and dance clubs and that there are plenty of opportunities to express yourself in a creative constructive way. :) SOmetiems it can be hard to sift through all the chaos on the Grid to find what you are really interested - but it is almost certainly in there somewhere.

Why is this NOT a tutorial or at least part of one for Second Life. If I would have found this page sooner, I would have saved three days attempting in frustration to figure it out. I might have not bothered to go back.

Thanks, should be cool now ;)
