You may find that you need to select every object you own on a parcel of land; you may be moving your home, searching for something you lost, or deleting a massive distributed build. This process is relatively easy, and need not be limited to a single land parcel!
 
To select only your own objects:
 
# Go into Edit Mode by clicking the '''Build''' button or by pressing '''Ctrl + 3'''.
# Make sure '''Tools > Select Only My Objects''' is checked.
# (Optional) Disable camera constraints and limited select distance in order to increase the range of your selection
#* Activate the [[How do I open the Advanced menu (Formerly known as the Client menu.)|Advanced menu]] by pressing '''Ctrl+Alt+D'''
#* Enable '''Advanced > Disable Camera Constraints'''
#* Disable '''Advanced > Limit Select Distance'''
#*
# Zoom out until you can see the entire area you would like to select. You should probably increase your draw distance in the [[Graphics Preferences Layout|Preferences window]] to make sure you can see far-away objects.
# Click and drag on your screen to select an area. Because you have Select Only My Objects enabled, this action selects ''only'' the objects that you own inside your selection area.

If you are using this method to take a copy of your objects, '''all''' of your selected objects must be copyable.
 
{{KBhint| '''Tip:''' Make sure you uncheck '''Tools > Select Only My Objects''' after you're done. If you leave it checked, you won't be able to select any objects you don't own!
}}
 
===Suggestions when using this feature:===
 
# Test this feature to become comfortable with how it works before collecting your complete build.
# Maximize your draw distance to be able to select as many objects as possible. (Reminder: Set your draw distance back to your preferred setting when you are finished.)
# Objects selected and taken into inventory appear as a coalesced object. The objects retain their coordinate relationship to each other, so be sure to have enough sqm of land to rez the file again.
# This article explains 'how to' select and drag content. Limits regarding [[Inventory: How the Coalesce feature works|coalesced objects]] still apply. Staying current with reports on our [[Linden Lab Official:Information about Openspaces (Void Regions)|Issue Tracker]] for any feature used with important content is good practice.
