The Daily Tortured Prim: The Nail

 

This is a series of beautiful and helpful things you can make out of a simple prim - Volume 2:
Create a nail from an SL default tube.
It's easy, just rez a tube and change some parameters - and the best thing of all:
It's free and full perm, so you can do with it whatever you want!

Yesterday, when I showed you how to create a basic necklace, I already mentioned the advantages of SL default prims, so we can just go ahead and make our nail.

Instructions:  

Rezz a Tube and name it "Nail".

Note:
It's always helpful to name your prims.
In more complicated builds, you have a better overview and you avoid filling up your inventory with "Objects".
Also, in case you lose a prim, you can define your area search better and find the prim a lot easier.


Object Tab:
Size: x = 0.1, y = 0.1, z = 0.1 (you can adjust the size later to make the nail fit to your project)
Hollow = 75.0

Hole Size: x = 1.0, y = 0.5
Profile Cut: B = 0.5, E = 0.88

And there is your nail, easily made from just one happy prim and ready to be incorporated into your building projects.
Below, you find the parameters of the nail again, shown in the Firestorm edit window:

Thank you for watching and stay tuned, tomorrow there will be the next tortured prim.

Save the prim! 👍
