Simply put, these are boxes and other geometric shapes used to build stuff with low polygon usage, unlike the 3x3x2 polygon(18 polygons) per face cubes SL has by default.
The reason for it is reasonable, to have the cutting/hole making abilities, but less polygons is better for when it is unneeded.
Q/A:
What can you do with them:
Anything.
What you can't do with them:
Re-sell them as-is in order to scam people out of their money.
What I classify as "as-is":
Unmodified in anyway. If you put a script in it, change the colour, size, or even just toggle physics on it, I consider it modified and is no longer "as-is".
Is it ever updating?:
Yes, I randomly decide to pack new stuff into this, join the group for notices about it!
AAAAA WHERE DID THE README GO? I WANT TO SEE THE READ ME INSIDE THE PACKAGE BEFORE I BUY IT PLS:
New HTML version: http://simulator.us.to/content/cubes_readme
Just the notecard: http://simulator.us.to/content/cubes_readme?notecard
Can I give these away for free even if unmodified?*:
Yes, just don't re-sell them.
*If you have a sandbox and want to link people to this, I've included a small 6 prim link giver for it with full access to the script in case you wish to use even less prims.
Can you make X shape?:
Sure, But please keep in mind I may or may not make it immediately. If you suggest it, I will likely have it out in the next update batch.
It's not 100% mesh you lied!:
It is 100% mesh, the only part that ISN'T 100% mesh is the plate I used for the reference layout I made for user convenience. I just realized that I didn't use the mesh cube for said base plate, but the base plate it's self isn't even used for building with, so I suspect it to not really be a big deal.
It didn't deliver this is a scam!:
SL'S FAULT NOT MINE STOP TRYING TO FIND THINGS WRONG WITH THIS. ;-;
But in the event it didn't deliver, try re-"buying"(It's free so it shouldn't matter). If it does not deliver, check http://status.secondlifegrid.net/. If no maintenance is going on, then contact me and I'll see what I can do.

- CUBES! :3
- Usable for building.
- Also some other shapes
Fantastic set
So very many shapes with all kinds of uses!
Amazing gift, thank you!
Been looking for exactly this, what a generous gift, thank you much!
Box building and other components and also for BUILDING BLOCKS - Release 2.0
I must be a dunce but I can't find the product that I purchased for 0L so I am reviewing all of his stuff that I have gotten. His things are absolutely great and I have just discovered them and I use them a lot. He also was quick to answer my IM which is very unusual here in SL. He did give me instructions on how to give the review for another of his products BUILDING BLOCKS - Release 2.0 but I couldn't find them though I looked for them. I just want to say that they are not only very useful but something that is needed for every builder or just the regular SL person. Thank you, Chaser Zaks, thank you, thank you, thank you and thank you again and again.
Brilliant
I love this to the point it would be considering cheating on my wife. BLESS YOU!
Saved me HOURS of Blender time!
Thank you. This is like having an alphabet handed to me, instead of having to chisel my own.
Simple, practical, useful.
Working on a HUD project, I was going to create some one-sided split-faced rectangles in Blender and upload them at my own expense, but then I checked the Marketplace and found this. The simplicity of these shapes means they can be applied to many different projects. Why use a heavier prim for an application where only a few of its faces would be visible? If it were up to me, I'd include these in the Library folder. Most content creators should have this in their kit just in case. Too bad it's so obscure!
Chaser Zaks, thank you for saving us both Linden$ and server load!
