Prim Properties

 * Axis Pivot Point: Sets the default pivot point of your selection axis when rezzing a prim. Values can be meters or percents.
 * Show Selection Outlines: Highlights selected prims in a color (improves fps when disabled).
 * Show Axis On Root Prim: Sets the axis to the root prim of a linkset rather than at the center.
 * Rez Objects Using Land Group: Rezzes objects using the group the land is set to (if you're a member).
 * Object edit decimal places: Sets the decimal precision for object position, size, and rotation (0-5 decimal places).
 * Object Size: Sets the default object size on new prim creation.
 * Reset to Defaults: Resets all the Advanced Build Options to their default values.

NOTE
Unlike in the Emerald Viewer, in order for the prim properties to apply, you must click either the Apply or the OK buttons. Clicking Cancel cancels your changes.
