Can't take an object or edit it after region resizing

Post by Freda Frostbite »

Hi, I just copied and resized my world and find that the sim surround needs to be removed and changed. I cannot seem to grab it at any point; not from the cube in the center, not by the outer edges, which are now mostly on land. I have tried control-alt-t to be sure I am really clicking it. When I do, it doesn't light up, the pie menu does not register edit or take or anything. It is like the object is not really there. Everything else seems to have faired the resizing just fine. How do I get the sim surround to let me pick it up?

Oddly, I tried relogging and it did not work. That works for almost every VW problem I encounter so I was surprised it did not fix this one. So I logged out and switched from Firestorm to Kokua. That worked. Man, I hate Kokua, but it finally came in handy!

Hey Freda!

I think your select distance is limited in your viewer.

To change this, go to "preferences", advanced" and tick "show advanced menu".

Then click "advanced" (it will appear in your drop-downs) then untick "limit select distance". I also tick "disable camera constraints" because it makes it much easier to build and move around with the cam.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!, though I was actually hovering directly above the box when I tried it. I mean, I would have been standing on it had it not been phantom.

hmmm. Then it may be something else. If you PM me with a landmark, I will come see if I can select it.

Its possible that its some technical bug, but I think people have resized the island before without trouble. I will ask around.
