* Why to use mesh prims instead of regular prims? They have low physical cost, so they add only around 1 prim to any linkset. All mesh prims are walkable and can be used for floors or walls.

* The problem with hollow regular prims is their high physical cost when set to "Prim" physical type and that was the reason why I created my own mesh hollow prims with unit physical cost.

* Example: Regular prim cube 64x64x0.5 with hollow 50% has physical cost 30, so it means it adds 30 prims to land impact when linked with a mesh object or convex hull sculptie. But the same sized mesh cube adds only around 1 prim to the total land impact!

Prim and Convex Hull Physical Shape Types
=============================
Note there is a big difference between those two types. All my mesh prims are set to "Prim" physical type. This type contains all hollows and holes in the physical shape, so it is walkable and all holes appear as true holes.
On the other side "Convex Hull" type ignores all holes in the physical shape, so you can walk even above the holes.

Being in SL for only a little while, getting the understanding, Mesh vs Prim etc. . Here's the deal. I read your spiel over and over about a 64m sq prim hollowed, couldn't produce the results in the description. Doubt anyone can. Funny thing is the prim @ 64m sq remained 1 Land Impact. This is not entirely fact. Your description is not fact. If in some cases that a prim increases Land Impact, this might be true. 1 Prim in Second Life remains... 1 Prim in most cases. Could NOT produce results in a Prim at max size becoming 30 Land Impact. Enlighten me. *please change misrepresented description*

I am disappointed I didn't find these sooner and spent a lot more on a diff item that was four times the price and useless. These are great they are hallowed and phantom on the inside which is exactly what I was looking for it also was stated so in the detailing that makes it so much easier than buying blindly very happy I found these!!

Cubes can be stretched and sized and keep it's 1 prim count. Plus unlike normal hollow prims you can texture inside faces differently. mirror sides stay the same. So both inside walls would be red for example while the ceiling and floor could be green. Same is true for outside faces. so bottom line inside faces offer more control of texture , outside faces- normal prim is better.
