Hop behind the cut to learn all about skyboxes, including: I’ve been pasting all of the questions into a file so that once I have enough I can write up a post, and I noticed that a great many of the search queries concern skyboxes, so that’s what this post is all about. Here’s another in my series of questions and answers inspired by the search terms that bring people to this blog. In addition, in some viewers you can utilize shortcuts to tp up (assuming routing isn’t on) by typing “gth 2000” (minus the “) in local chat.Those Little Questions: All About Skyboxes You can move it up easily by editing the prim, selecting the Z axis in the position portion of the build window, and type in the correct numbers for Z. Would just like to add to this that technically, Belisseria covenant allows skyboxes at 2000m or higher, but I would recommend following Rolig’s suggestion of editing a prim to the size of your platform and moving it up. There are a lot of smaller builds with very high prim counts.

The prim limit will often be more important than the actual size of the building. This is normally determined by parcel size. Each parcel has a set limit of prims allowed. The LI or prims of the build would also be taken into account. Be sure that your parcel is big enough to contain it and that you have a large enough prim allowance to rez the house and still have plenty of prims left over to decorate it. I do not recommend buying a house of any kind without seeing it (not a picture of it in MP). Reputable builders have demo houses you can visit before you buy, so spend a few days exploring. I suggest shopping around quite a bit before you decide on one you like. Like "normal" houses, skyboxes come in all different styles. Then you rez it on the ground, sit down somewhere inside it, set its altitude to some conveniently large number (less than 4000m), and be amazed as it pops into the sky at your chosen altitude. You need a parcel to put it on, just like a normal house. Except for that, though, you treat a skybox like any other house. Well, OK, it doesn't have ground under it or Linden water, so you have to do tricky things to landscape a skybox. Otherwise, there is nothing special about it. A skybox is just a house that you put in the sky.
