The basic tools that you will use in Second Life to build things are:

- Focus -- Take control of the camera to view objects from any angle.
- Move -- move a primitive or object around.
- Edit -- Move, resize, or rotate an object.
- Create -- Make a new primitive.
- Land -- Modify the land in Second Life, raising, lowering or flattening as needed to prepare it for building.
- Link -- connect two or more primitives into a single object.
- Make Joints -- connect two primitives with a moveable connection.

There are many variations and additions to these basic tools that we'll get to later on. But if you understand just these few simple tools, you've made a good start.
