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.
Opening a box
- In the bottom-right of the Second Life Viewer window, click the Inventory button. (You can also use the 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.
- 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:
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.
