 Description  « Hide
There really needs to be a way to return a selected object via the Tools menu. There are a lot of cases where you can select a prim but you just can't right click it easily to return it. Some examples include prims underground, prims surrounded by other prims with lots of alpha textures, or just prims hidden in other prims.

There are workarounds like disabling camera constraints or disabling the land feature for finding lost underground prims, but most users don't know about these, and getting just the right angle to right-click is tricky (and sometimes incredibly frustrating). Selected objects can already be deleted without right clicking. They should be able to be returned as well.

I'm attaching a copy of the patch and patched xml file. This was made against 1.20.8. Return object works the same in the tools menu as right clicking from the pie menu, it just now makes it easier for land owners to return objects they can drag select but not easily right click.

I have occasionally used the Tools->Take menu commands, for exactly these reasons. But it's not the same as Return, which is what I actually wanted to use.
