Collada supports multiple objects and these objects are imported as separate linked mesh prims. I have imported many multi object meshes that were in far excess of 8 prims on Secondlife. These are not prim equivalence numbers or land impact numbers. The 8 number you saw is probably regarding textured surfaces and to my knowledge was actually intended to be 9 to match up with standard prim surface limits but for some reason the published number was 8 im not sure wether this is an error or my info on surface limits is wrong.<br>

Hello,<br>I have noticed a particular that I come across fairly regularly when<br>importing say something fairly but not overly complicated like a house<br>with textures. Firstly, it will often be the case that the orientation<br>
of the whole object is different from that my 3D editor (but that's<br>ok, no biggie). However, there is always one 'prim'/part mesh object<br>that will be rotated 90 deg out from all the rest (again no biggie, I<br>
can correct that fairly simply). Now I find that on some imports, the<br>house object is cannot be unlinked (broken into subparts) .... and the<br>very same collada file produces an object that can on a different<br>occasion. Let me know what could be going on here. My work flow is<br>
this: I try to make things look perfect on sim_on_a_stick before<br>uploading to Second Life other grids.<br>R<br><br>-- <br>'Consider how the lilies grow. They do not labor or spin.'<br>Rameshsharma Ramloll PhD, CEO CTO DeepSemaphore
