== 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.
