You must provide the one with most detail. You can let<br>viewer create the others, or provide your own.<br> - others are for the physics representation of the object, mainly<br>for collisions.<br><br>Considering physics.<br>Viewers will always create a very low detail convex (i.e. without holes etc<br>) hull.<br>You select a higher resolution mesh for collisions, if you like people to<br>get inside your houses for example.<br>You can provide one or select one of the visual LODS.<br>That mesh can be encoded as normal mesh or as a decomposition of it in<br>convex hulls. Some viewers don't support this last option for opensim, in<br>fact some physics engines don't like it much, so use the mesh for now.<br><br>In world you can use Physics Shape type for more control.<br> - type None, the physics mesh are ignored, the object will not<br>collide with anything, its like phantom.<br> - type Prim, the high resolution physics mesh will be used. If none<br>was uploaded, this type is not available.<br> - type Convex. The default simple convex hull is used.<br>On mesh upload the type is set to convex. You need to change it.<br>Linkset root (or individual) prims cannot have type none (set them phantom).<br><br>Viewers now allow you to not choose any mesh for physics.<br>In this case the prim will collide only with the simple low resolution<br>convex hull with the type selected as Convex or will not collide if is a<br>child prim with type selected as None.<br><br>This is the expected behavior, and will be in future opensim versions.<br>This is the behavior with physics engine ubOde and ubMeshmerizer.<br><br>In current versions, using other physics engine and Meshmerizer, if you do<br>not provide a high resolution mesh for physics, incorrectly the simulator<br>will use a mesh from the visual part.<br>Your creation will seem to work, but you will have issues changing the<br>physics shape type, and the viewers option to display the physics shape will<br>not work correctly. We can see several meshs like this in world now.<br><br>For this reason this use of visual part of the mesh for physics will be<br>removed in future versions.<br><br>Please check if you creations where uploaded correctly.<br>If you want high resolution collisions, make sure the type PRIM is available<br>to select in world. (if you only want the simple convex or no collision,<br>then its ok).<br><br>If a new upload is no longer possible, the object can still be fixed,<br>setting the mesh to type none, and adding to the linkset invisible prims<br>(simple boxes are the best option) to do the missing collisions.<br>You can (should?) do this alse in case a object was uploaded with a<br>excessive large mesh for physics.
