First we'll need to download a COLLADA model file to your computer:
* Download duck.dae from https://collada.org/owl/download.php?sess=0&parent=126&expand=1&order=name&curview=0&binary=1&id=698
Next we will upload the model to Second Life:
* Open the Build menu, choose Upload, click 'Model...'
** Alternately, open the Inventory, click the + menu button and Upload > "Model"
* A file dialog box will open
* Pick the duck.dae file from your computer.
* The Import Model window will appear.

* Click the 'Generate LOD' button at the top of this window.
* The viewer will take a moment to process this, then the Upload button will become clickable.
* Click the 'Upload' button.
* You will see 2 assets inserted into your Inventory. One will appear in the Meshes folder and one will appear in the Objects folder. We only care about the Object right now.
* Drag the new object from your Objects folder onto the ground.
* A duck model will appear on the ground. You can use the duck mesh as you would any other object. Scale it, texture it, attach it, script it, whatever you like.
