VSTE Island Day 4

Day four we rezzed the VSTE Headquarters building. It was too close to the edge of the island, about two meters too high, and turned the wrong way. Normally that is not a problem. Buildings come with "rez boxes," devices that are small, attached to the front of the building and are easily moved with the edit function. You move the rez box in any direction and the entire building follows. Sadly, VSTE HQ came without a rez box.

We tried to move the building into place. It was in several pieces. Some pieces were single prims: railings and a beam or two. It was impossible to gather all the pieces in one edit and move them together. We moved pieces. It was a mess.

Later on the same day Elijah contacted me to tell me that he was working on the Powhatan bits. After I expressed dismay over our building problem he came to help. We rezzed another copy of the building for him to refer to as he was putting ours together.

There remained some tiny spaces between prims. At about 11 PM we all gave up and went to bed!

On a positive note, the furniture and meeting house are nearly ready and the ships were also rezzed. Mandie made room for them by terraforming the edge of the sim. They are a work of art!
