== About ==
 
In Second Life Viewer 2.4, following much beta testing, the ability to attach multiple objects to a single attachment point (also called "slot") was formally introduced. This is part of a "multi-wearables project" which also includes the earlier ability to wear up to 5 items on each clothing layer.
 
== How do I attach multiple objects to a single point? ==
 
{{red|Torley will add a short video}}
 
# Right-click an object in your inventory and select '''Add''' (instead of '''Wear''').
#* If the object is inworld, right-click it and select '''Put On''' > '''Add'''.
# Repeat the above step for each object. You should each attached object getting added.
 
== How many objects can I attach to a single point? ==
 
{{red|This needs verification to be sure.}}
 
Unlike clothing layers, the attachment cap is determined by the total number of attachments on your avatar, ''not'' the total number of attachments to a point. You can attach up to 38 attachments to any combination of attachment points [http://www.flickr.com/photos/torley/5349552512/ as shown here]. For example, you could attach 31 cubes to your Left Hand and 7 cubes to your Right Hand, although that would be pretty weird.
 
== How do I determine the layering order of attachments? ==
 
Multi-attachments are different than multiple items on a clothing layer because they're {{xref|prim|prims}}, instead of being baked on your avatar mesh. So there's no "layering" for attachment points: visual priority is determined by the position of each triangle in each attachment — parts of one attachment that are in front of others will be shown.
 
This also means that attaching identically-sized or similarly-sized objects (like recolored versions of the same {{xref|flexiprim}} hair) is subject to [[prim flicker]].
 
== How do I replace all objects attached to a single point? ==
 
{{red|Currently being investigated because "Wear" doesn't replace all earlier attachments on the same point: http://screencast.com/t/qjfVrEgoyTS }}
