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 Some of these will almost definitely change over time, so if you spot something incorrect/outdated, please take a moment to update it.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

  • Max. prim dimensions (non-megaprim) - 10x10x10 m.
  • Min. prim dimensions - 0.01x0.01x0.01 m.
  • Max. # of prims in a linkset - 255.
  • Max. link distance - See Linkability Rules.
  • Max. # 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

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

Groups

  • Max. # of groups you can belong to - 25.
    • Roles within groups can serve as sorts of sub-groups, so in many cases, you don't need to create new groups.

Inventory

  • Max. # 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. ;)

Land

  • Max. parcel size - 65,536 m2.
  • Min. parcel size - 16 m2.

Scripting

For specific scripting limits, see the LSL Portal.
