The items are all linked (because they are buildings) but none of them have items within them or scripts. Effectively empty prims glued together :D

Okay, I suggest you try cloning this building then unlinking the cloned copy. Once that's done try changing the permissions for the unlinked components to see which one is causing the issue.

Hi Ilan

As mentioned in a previous thread, I have unpicked a building brick by brick but my latest victim is 1200+ prims. I would undertake a rebuild, but the issue is recurring and seems to hit without warning and without explanation. I am not sure if it is linked to the number of linked prims, but I am not technical enough to give an analysis on that. I have tried to link groups of my own test prims with anything that I have not created personally, but this experimetn has been limited and presented no problems. I assumed that if I unpicked a building, I would find the guilty culprit but it seems that once this change takes place, it cascades to every prim and leaves me unable to analyse.

When you link objects the resulting linkset's permissions are limited by that of the object with the most restrictive permissions. In other words, if you have even a single object that is no-transfer then the entire linkset will be no-transfer. Similarly, if even a single object is no-copy then the entire linkset will be no-copy.

Indeed I understand this. I have been building for many years. But if I create objects, they inherit my permissions which only I can change. I don't normally even consider changing permissions until a build is completed and usually never bother because they are only for me

No personal experience but is it worth using a perms-checking script?
