7. Sizing Adjustment with SL's Edit

If you know how to stretch and rotate prims in SL's editor, you can adjust sizing using the red sizing guides as follows:
  1. EDIT the beadrez object (Edit from the right-click pie menu)
  2. Set "Ruler mode" to "Local". YOU MUST BE IN LOCAL MODE FOR THE DESCRIPTION AND PICTURES BELOW TO BE CORRECT.
  3. Check the "Stretch both sides" checkbox (upper right in Edit)
  4. Check "Edit linked parts"
  5. You can now select one of the three red sizing guides and do the following:
FRONT guide: you can stretch this to increase length (along its red axis), and you can rotate it about its green (local y) axis.
BACK guide: stretch and rotate, like the front guide.
WIDTH guide: you can stretch this along its red axis, but *DO NOT _ROTATE_ THE WIDTH GUIDE*
