# Building in the Metaverse

To Build in the metaverse, the user must own land. See [Land Ownership in the Metaverse](https://metaversenw.gitbook.io/user-manual/land-economy/types-of-land-ownership) for more information. 

1\) Go to the Map of the Metaverse which you own land in. Right click on the deployed land and Enter Dimension.

2\) Initially a Metaverse will appear as a vast space with some voxel placement. Scroll the mouse backwards to find your avatar.

The highlighted red area indicates the boundary of your land. It is your allowable buildable area. You can only build inside this perimeter.

Note: Height limitation for voxel building is 95 voxels and 100m for 3D assets.
