# Elements

Elements are the building blocks of your world!

At their simplest, elements are images that you can add to a room. They can be assigned [interactions](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/fundamentals/elements/interactions) and [hit-boxes](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/fundamentals/elements/hitboxes), and each element gets a [z-index](#understanding-z-index) which helps position it relative to the character.

Carefully crafting your elements is key to creating an immersive feeling in your world.

Want to build, but don't know where to start? You can access Bueno element kits from the [asset manager](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/fundamentals/asset-manager).

## Adding an Element

To add an element, go to the object menu and select **Element**. It will prompt a file dialog to select your image.

You can also drag and drop images into your world when you are in build mode.

## Edit an Element

Once the element is placed in the world, click on it to edit the element. From here you can add [hitboxes](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/fundamentals/elements/hitboxes), a [z-index](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/fundamentals/elements/z-index) and [interactions](https://docs.bueno.art/buenoverse/interactions).
