FrameWizard

Add a frame to any prim without using extra prims.
Transforms a prim without losing the prim’s contents. Ideal for updating simple vendor displays.
Choose from 12 frame textures and small, medium and large frame sizes.
Simple menu-driven tool.

Step 1:Create a regular cube prim. The one shown is enlarged for this walkthrough so it’s easier to see.

Note: If you’re new to Second Life you do that as follows. Right-click the ground and select “Create” from the pie-menu (Or just press Ctrl+4). Ensure the cube shape is selected (It’s the first shape shown). Now click the ground once.
Step 2:Drag a texture from your inventory onto the face of the prim.
Step 3:Drag the “FrameWizard” script from your inventory onto the prim. This will add the script to the prim’s own inventory.
Step 4:Click the prim. A menu will appear. Select the “Apply” option.

Note: Before you click “Commit” ensure your avatar is positioned roughly opposite the side of the prim you’re dealing with. This is how the script determines the face being used. If you forget to do this then you can fix it later using the “Texture” menu option.
Step 5:Observe that the prim has been adjusted.
Step 6:Click the prim and select the “Commit” menu option. This will remove the script from the prim because it’s not needed anymore. You can then do whatever you like with the prim.

“Apply”: Reshapes, resizes and rotates the prim.
“Rotate”: Handy way to rotate the prim to 0,90,180,270 degrees.
“Texture”: Allows you to pick any texture for the main image that was originally on the prim before it got reshaped.
“Frame”: Apply one of 12 textures to the frame and backing.
“Size”: Pick from 3 different frame thicknesses.
“Commit”: Removes the FrameWizard script from the prim.
“Commit All”: Removes the FrameWizard script from the prim, as well as any other prims in the surrounding area.

I Clicked “Apply” but my image has vanished!
FrameWizard makes a best guess for which texture to use on the reshaped prim – it actually selects the texture from the side of the prim nearest to your avatar when you click “Apply”. But don’t worry, all the original images from each side of the prim were stored. So you can cycle through those images until you find the one you want. Use the “Texture” button for this.
I clicked “Apply” then my prim has vanished!
This can happen in the following scenario. If your original prim is placed against a wall but the centre of the prim is inside/behind the wall, then after FrameWizard has reshaped the prim, it may not be thick enough to allow the prim to poke out of the wall. Therefore it’s best to ensure that no part of a prim is inside a wall/floor/ceiling before clicking “Apply”.
Why give FrameWizard away for free?
FrameWizard is a stripped down version of an old project I was working on and it doesnt include all the functionality I had planned. Namely a templating system. It worked, but it was a little buggy so that got stripped out for now. So to celebrate the launch of my new shop in the Babeli sim I decided to give this version away for free. Enjoy!

Version 1.1
- It now checks asset permissions for all textures before attempting to add a frame. If the key for any textures can not be retrieved then this tool will refuse to continue because since SL v1.6.5 it’s likely you’d lose the texture. This safeguard is because the tool needs to move the main texture to side 0 if it’s not already there, and if it can’t retrieve the key then the texture will be lost.
Version 1.0
- Initial Release.
