== Summary ==
 
New to Second Life? Ever bought stuff and wondered why all you got was a box? '''Items are frequently sold in simple containers that require you to "open" them to get the contents.''' For example, if you purchase clothing that comes in a box, you'll have to extract the clothing objects from the box container, then transfer them to your inventory so you can wear them. Practice this a few times and it becomes second nature.
 
__TOC__
 
== Opening a box ==
# In the bottom-right of the Second Life Viewer window, click the [[Inventory]] button. (You can also use the {{KeyCombo|ctrl=*|I}} shortcut.)
# Drag the box from your inventory to the ground to [[rez]] it.
# Right-click the box and choose '''Open''' from the pie menu.
#: [[File:Open-box.jpg]]
# A window opens. If the box has many contents, it can take a minute or two.
# Click '''Copy to Inventory''' to transfer the box's contents to your inventory.
#: If the box contains an outfit you'd like to wear immediately, click '''Copy And Wear''' instead.
 
Once the items are copied, they appear in your inventory as a folder with the box's name. If you don't see it, click the '''Recent Items''' tab.

== Caveats ==
* You need to be on a [[parcel]] where ''building'' is allowed so you can rez the box. That means this icon: [[Image:Status_no_build.png]] does ''not'' appear in the menu bar. In some cases, if you're a member of the group that owns the land, activating your group title permits you to build despite the no-build icon which applies to the general public.
