| A Sculpted Prim is a primitive whose shape is determined by a texture, called a "Sculpt Texture". You can use Sculpted Prims to create complex, organic shapes that are not possible with conventional Second Life prims.

| |
| # Find a piece of land where you can build, and click the '''Build''' button on the bar at the bottom of your screen.
| |
| # Select any type of prim from the tools window (the default is a '''Box''') and click the ground to create it.
| |
| # If you haven't already, click the '''More >>''' button to expand the tools window, and select the '''Object''' tab.
| |
| # In the Building Block Type dropdown menu, select '''Sculpted'''. Notice how some of the object editing parameters turn into a colorful texture! That texture, called a Sculpt Texture, defines the shape of the sculpted prim.
| |
| # You can change the Sculpt Texture by clicking on it and choosing a new texture from the Texture Picker.
| |
| # You can change the position, size, and rotation of a Sculpted Prim by using the edit tools the same way you would with a conventional prim.

| {{KBnote| If you pick a texture that was not intended to be a Sculpt Texture (like a Snapshot, or some wallpaper), the sculpted prim will take on a crazy, unexpected shape we like to call "texture vomit". These crazy shapes won't hurt Second Life or your computer's performance, but they may hurt your eyes!}}
