This article is about links. For LSL related information, see Category:LSL Link.

When building, multiple prims may be linked together, so they can be moved as one unit. You can imagine it like glueing multiple elementary pieces together to a new object. To link prims, you need to enter the edit menu. Do so by right clicking at one of the prims you'd like to link and choose "edit" from the pie menu. You can hold the ⇧ Shift key and select piece by piece you'd like to link. Note that you can only link objects when you own them all (and got modify permissions)!

After selecting all objects you'd like to link, go to Tools > Link (or press Ctrl-L). Due to limits, you can only link up to 256 prims (was 255 until SL Server 1.26). In order to Template:Anchor:unlinkunlink an object, select the object and choose Tools > Unlink (or press Ctrl-⇧ Shift-L).

SL does not support hierarchical linking, that is to say, no child prim may have child prims. The root prim is the only prim that causes other prims to move when it's position or rotation change.
