This tool is a browsable library of 400 standard primitive shapes. The prims are editable, transferable and copyable (i.e. no restrictions) and you are free to use them in your own projects and products without limitation, so long as you do not repackage/redistribute the whole prim collection.

It comes with a companion tool called Rezzer which does the job of actually rezzing the prims. Simply place it near the Prim Finder before you press the "Rez" button.

If anyone prezzes the "Rez" button but they do not have their Rezzer they'll automatically receive one. This setup makes Prim Finder ideal for sharing with friends/visitors and allows everyone to create prims using the same Prim Finder. A nice tool to leave in your sandbox for anyone to use!

Main Features

* Browse a library of 400 standard primitive shapes organized in 38 categories.
* Ultra low lag/prim display board. Just 2 scripts and 13 prims.
* Rez any prim with no restrictions. They're editable, copyable and transferable.
* Favorites option for prims you use often.
* Shows currently selected page and filter on the display. Silent operation with no unsightly hovertext.
* Double click a filter to apply accumulatively.
* Rotating demo of selected shape. Click it to start/stop rotation.
* Double click the demo prim to show/hide the grid.
* Click the glass around the demo prim to rotate it in that direction.
* Double click the page buttons to go to first/last page.
* When Prim Finder is rezzed it automatically rotates to face owner.
* Share Prim Finder with others. It automatically gives them a Rezzer if they don't have one.
* A great building and learning aid.

Rezzer Features

* Automatically detects and adjusts appearance when rezzed, worn as a HUD or worn on body.
* If worn it'll rez prims in front of your camera. It protects against rezzing under the ground.
* Can be customized to create prims which show yourself as the creator.
* Can rez prims which include custom/third-party building scripts.
* If third party scripts are detected, the faces will be left untouched (no colours/grid) to avoid conflicts.
* Multiple Rezzers can be used at the same time. Each is locked to the owner to avoid misuse.
* Can now be turned on/off. Ideal if you use more than one Rezzer with varying customizations.
* If you double click the "Rez" button on the Prim Finder the coloured faces will be preserved.
* Menu option to keep the coloured faces/grid by default. Ideal if used for learning.
* Menu option to enable/disable the overlaid grid.

Getting Started.

* Step 1: Drag "Prim Finder" from your inventory to the ground.

* Step 2: Click one of the filter options to narrow down your search. For example you can filter by flower related prim shapes.

* Step 3: Click "Prev" and "Next" to view each page of shapes.

* Step 4: Click a shape to see a live rotating demo. You can also click the glass surrounding the prim to rotate it in that direction.

* Step 5: Drag "Rezzer 2.0" from your inventory to the ground. Place it near the Prim Finder (anywhere within 20 meters).

* Step 6: Click the "Rez" button on the Prim Finder.

* Step 7: Observe that the currently selected prim has been created above your Rezzer. Or if you're wearing the Rezzer it will be created in front of your camera instead.

Happy building!

Customization (optional)

By default all prims show "Vim Sims" as the creator. For vanity purposes you can change this to show your own name instead. It doesn't affect what you can do with the prims - either way they're editable, copyable and transferable. Here's the customization instructions:

What's New in v2.0

* NEW: Rebuilt and rescripted from the ground up. It now uses just 2 scripts and 13 prims.
* NEW: Added approximately 180 new prim shapes.
* NEW: Added 10 new filters and updated previous filters (categories).
* NEW: The prims for each filter have been visually ordered so similar shapes are next to each other.
* NEW: Now operates silently. The current page and filter is shown graphically.
* NEW: The whole grid of shapes, filter panel and info bar now account for just 7 prims combined.

Bien mais non modifiable

Ce produit est très amusant et pratique. J'aurais aimé pouvoir l'intégrer dans mon Tool rezzer, mais comme il n'est pas modifiable, je ne peux pas mettre mon programme auto-kill. Pour le moment, je ne peux pas l'utiliser, j'attends la réponse de l'auteur.

This is a MUST HAVE if you want to take advantage of all the possible shapes that prims can be.
I literally use this all the time.
