      If you do not have the Build button showing right click on another button on the bottom bar, open the toybox, and drag the Build button to the bottom bar.

      Stand in a parcel which allows anyone to rezz (build): the Build button is not grayed out

      Move to an adjacent parcel where building is not allowed: the Build button is grayed out and you cannot click on it

      Set your active group to None.

      Move to a parcel which does not allow building by anyone, but does for a group you are a member in.
      Make the group active that allows you to build: the Build button is no longer gray
      Click on the build button: the build floater opens
      Close the build floater.
      Set your active group to None: the Build button turns gray and is not clickable

    Description

      When standing in a parcel it would be helpful to have a graphical indication in the UI if you are able to build/rez.

      The icon in the (mini) location bar shows parcel properties, not what is available to you as parcel owner or as a member of a group that has rezzing enabled as one of your group roles.

      Suggested solution: Gray out the build button if it is present on the toolbar, just like the Speak button is grayed out if voice is not available.

      Pro:
      No UI changes are needed.

      Con:
      If the build button is not present (and it is not by default) then this change would not be helpful.

      If someone is used to clicking on this button in no-build parcels to open the build floater that function would no longer work; they would have to use the Ctrl-B shortcut or pick an appropriate menu entry from Build->Select Build Tool

      Note: This is the behavior that was present in V1.
