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 Some of these will almost definitely change over time, so if you spot something incorrect/outdated, please take a moment to update it.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

    • They can be viewed in Edit menu > Detach Object.
