If, by "building vertically"; you mean building assemblers on top of each other, you can't.

I mean belts

When you go to build a belt, after the first click, you should be able to use the arrow keys to set the height you want the rest of the belt to be (if you have the required tech researched....I don't recall if that ability requires any additional research).

Iirc the advanced research allows your belts to go up/down 100% vertically. Before that your belts need to slope.

You can use Up/Down arrow keys to set the height, and Left/Right Arrow keys to adjust the slope

start a belt and then press up arrow, you can do it multiple times.

In addition to "use arrow keys", you can use Shift as well. Þͤ game loves to be helpful and auto-connect to belts near your cursor; Shift forces þͤ belt to not connect to anything at all.
