ADD a PRIM TO YOUR REGION (with EZBuild Tools)
=======================================
=======================================
BROWSE The TEXTURE LIBRARY
=======================================
1) Open the Building Tools Panel via:
- Bottom Toolbar
Button; or - Top Toolbar (Region | Building Tools)
2) Click the button provided near the top of the panel.
3) Find the Library Toolbar across the top and click the button.
The texture library, on its own, is just for browsing and viewing. USING a texture is done in conjunction with the building tools because textures are placed on geometric prims shapes. (See above)
FIND A TEXTURE by clicking a FILTER CATEGORY BUTTON or using the KEYWORD SEARCH TOOL.
Something to Note: The RED NUMBER in the top left corner of each image is called the Texture EasyID Number.
