Building

To build with the Survey Manager you need a starting point: a Project. In the previous pages I covered the making of projects.

If you have made a project from surveying a certain area, and you wish to copy it to some other location in the same or in a different world, you will need to apply transforms to the project. This topic was covered in the section on tranforming. The present page deals only with building techniques, and assumes the project has been moved to the proper area.

Load a fresh project from file, or consolidate and save the project you are making, before attempting to build. Your bot must be in the world where you plan to build, but need not be at the spot. The bot must have the appropriate build rights. Check, before you start building a project, the state of the lists.

Select the Build tab. Before building, adjust if necessary the rate the objects are sent to the server. Fast servers will easily cope with 25 objects per second, many servers will need a lower rate (10 per second or less).

You may want to test the first few objects, or only build partially (AlphaWorld had a limit of 100 objects a day during the beta period of the SDK; it is now forbidden to use bots to build there).

Follow the instructions on screen.
