Deletion of model while working on the build parcel

Deletion of model while working on the build parcel

While working on a my model in the build parcel, I had it deleted and replaced by another. As far as I can remember, the scenario leading up to this was:

1. I switched the parcel toggle to the build parcel and rezzed a design.
2. Not being sure of how it was supposed to work, I switched the parcel toggle back to the build parcel and pressed the X button. Sure enough, the design on the build parcel was deleted, so I figured I had done it right.
3. I rezzed my partially done design on the build parcel. (All the prims had the standard script.)
4. I worked for awhile, and then all of a sudden, my design was gone and replaced by another.

I checked the mini-map to see if someone might have inadvertently done it, but there was no one else on the sim. Thinking about it afterwards, I'm guessing that the parcel toggle didn't reset after I deleting the build design, and that the timed update simple did what it would normally do on the display parcel.

I didn't lose a lot of work, so I'm not upset by this. But is there a compelling reason for automatic deletions from the build parcel? I'm sure I won't be the last one to get caught by this.

It sounds as though you might have been on the 'viewing parcel' (furthest south) instead of the building parcel (furthest north), because the 'viewing parcel' will revert back to the most popular design after 20 minutes. The building parcel, however, should not do this. If so, it's a glitch that needs to be corrected. Let me know, thanks!

I was definitely on the building parcel. It seems like a scripting glitch is the most probable cause. It is possible that someone did it manually and then teleported away before I looked, but that seems less likely.
