# PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT

*LSL constant*

```lsl
integer PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT = 7;
```

Constant groups: [PrimType](/constants/groups/PrimType/)

`PRIM_TYPE_SCULPT` is a parameter of [PRIM_TYPE](/constants/PRIM_TYPE/) used to make a prim into a sculpty of specific shape and type.

## Caveats

- The value of **map** is [NULL_KEY](/constants/NULL_KEY/) when the [owner](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Owner) does not have [full permissions](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Permissions/Asset) to the object and the map asset is not in the prim's inventory.
- While it is possible to use this to animate an object, it is not recommended. For details see: [Why UUID Flipping is Bad](https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Why_UUID_Flipping_is_Bad)

                            PRIM_SCULPT_TYPE_SPHERE                  // type
                            | PRIM_SCULPT_FLAG_MIRROR     // use pipe | to add each flag
                      ]);

        ]);
    } // The gray color you see on your sculpt object is the SL no found texture that is gray.
