Limits

This page is an easy reference to common queries about 'Second Life limits — just as the physical world has certain rules & restrictions, Second Life does too. Some of these will almost definitely change over time, so if you spot something incorrect/outdated, please take a moment to update it.

Building

• Maximum prim dimensions (non-megaprim) - 10x10x10 m.
• Minimum prim dimensions - 0.01x0.01x0.01 m.
• Maximum # of prims in a linkset - 255.
• Maximum link distance - See Linkability Rules.
• Maximum # of prims in a physical object - 32.
  • If you try to link more, it'll either say "Can't enable physics for objects with more than 32 primitives" or "Object has too many primitives -- its dynamics have been disabled.".

Avatar

• Maximum # of attachment points - 30 for avatar, 8 for HUD.
  • They can be viewed in Edit menu > Detach Object.

Inventory

• Maximum # of inventory items that can be sent in a folder - 42.
  • Folders count as items too. This has more to do with packet size limits than cheeky Douglas Adams references. ;)
