# Creating Areas

To create an area, type the following command in chat:

/lands selection

You will now have a golden hoe tool in your hand and see the selection text on your screen. You'll be selecting a cuboid (think of a 3D rectangle) by choosing two points at two corners of the cuboid. 

![](/files/koNWkUcfSwGCDf3HBjwt)

This is a **3D cube** so you must consider height. If you select 2 points on the same vertical axis (both points on the floor) then your area will only include the floor. You generally want to think of a 'bottom' point and a 'top' point. 

![The selection screen you see after typing /land selection](/files/wUbcoJ0x5di3iAsW8EAM)

Left click with the tool to select the **First** point. Right click to select the **Second** point. 

You will see a visualization of your selected points with floating particles. 

Once you're happy with the selection, type the following command: 

/assign {NAME OF YOUR AREA}

Example: */assign SandCastle*

**You've now created an area named SandCastle!**

If you want to resize your area or select a whole new area just repeat the process. If you **assign** with the same name as an existing area, you will replace the old selection with the new one. If you use a new name, you will create a new area. 

{% hint style="info" %}
**This process is MUCH easier to follow in-game.**  If you're confused by the text, play around with the selection tool in-game. Once you do it once, you'll be able to create new areas in seconds. 
{% endhint %}
