Great find! Thanks for sharing. I have never gotten the hang of prim torturing. That's a big boost for me.

Thanks so much Brann, that is very useful to building noobs like me!

It's an excellent resource Brann - ty. I've bookmaked it.

But it's not about "torturing" prims, as I understand torturing. Torturing is doing things to prims that that they can't normally do. Different basic prims have different sets of things that you can do with them (in the Edit box > Object tab). With some, you can do a certain thing, but you can't do that thing with others. Torturing a prim means doing to it what you can't normally do to it, because it's not available for that particular shape in the Edit>Object box.

I got an impression that the word "torture" was being misunderstood in the SL forum, when someone posted that she was there torturing some prims. My guess was that she didn't know how to torture them and was just twisting them and stuff like that. I don't know how to torture them either, btw, but I remember reading a description of it.
