About Land - Environment
In this tab, you can set a specific day cycle and water settings for your parcel, or create on ad-hoc.
Select Environment
Use Region Settings
Clicking this will have the parcel use the same day, sky and water settings as the region has, effectively removing any that may have been previously applied.
Use Inventory
Click this to select a predefined day asset from your inventory.
Customize
Allows you to create an ad-hoc day cycle for the parcel. Refer to this page for information on creating a day setting.
Day Settings
Day Length (hours)
How many (real) hours the day cycle is to last. “Legacy” SL days are 4 hours long, but you can use any value here from 4 to 168.
If you want a day cycle that matches the Legacy day cycle of 3 hours daylight, and 1 hour night, refer here.
Day Offset (hours)
Offset from UTC. The default is -8, which is SL time, or Pacific time.
Apparent Time of Day
An indication of the apparent time of day, based on the day asset in use, and the current time of day (sun position).
