How to rez an object

How to rez an object

Yes, "rez" is not a very good word but we're stuck with it. Blame it on Disney, it's from their 1982 movie "Tron" .

What it means, is to add an object to the scene and we can do it in two ways, we can rez an item from our inventory or we can rez a brand new prim.

Rezzing from from your inventory

• Open your inventory (Ctrl-I)
• Find the item you want to rez
• Click on it and hold the mouse button while you drag it onto the spot you want to be.

You almost certainly have to adjust the position aftewards but that's for an other article.

Rezzing a new prim

This will create a brand new (prim) object. There are several ways to do this but I think the easiest is:

• Open your Build palette (Ctrl-4). Your cursor will change into a "magic wand".
• Click on the spot you want the prim to appear and there it is!

Again, you almost certainly want to adjust its position and of course you want to edit the prim to make it look the way you want
