How to Make Furniture in "Second Life"
"Second Life" combines elements of computer gaming, social interaction and virtual culture, particularly in the emergence of politics and economy. Luckily, anybody with a tasteful eye can make his way into the "Second Life" world through the creation of furniture and other goods that can then be sold to users.

Arrange the blocks however necessary to accomplish the look and functionality that you expect from your furniture. Click a block that you have generated to bring up arrows pointing out of each side of the box. The arrows move the box in that direction when clicked. Hold "Ctrl" to turn the arrows into rotation arrows, and click them to spin the block on its axis.

Click each of the blocks to name them, for example, "Chairblock1," "Chairblock2." Select them all again and click "Return." This moves them into your inventory as one object.

Tips & Warnings
Sandboxes clear all blocks within them periodically to keep the space from becoming too cluttered. Scroll your mouse over a region to see when it will clear again so that you do not lose progress unexpectedly.
