in looking at the usage to calculate mass, it looks like the math is
right, but yet, the avatar seems to have a higher density then the
prim. <br><br>I know that these are empirically determined, but in
trying to look forward to a world where we actually might use the
density of metal, rubber, glass, rock, plywood to do some additional
physics *stuff*, it seems that we might want to see if we can harmonize
our notion of density a little bit.<br><br>Perhaps I am just <span style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1237759381_0">missing the boat</span> here. But, I would like to understand how we might be able to move forward a little bit on density some time.<br><br>Charles</div></div></body></html>
