{% hint style="warning" %}
For best performance, It is recommended to choose the smallest LAND size to build your Experience that will still allow 3D space for your planned content. Review [**Scale & LAND Use**](/en/creator/basics/scale.md) for recommendations.

Take advantage of height to fit more content into your Experience.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
You can **NOT** change the size of an Experience once you create it.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
