![]() The last challenge was determining the inner and outer dimension of the round supportive tubes on the bottom of a wide brick or plate. That means that the walls of a hollow-stud are thin, they are 1/2P, a lot thinner than the walls of a normal brick. This was strictly a guess, but the resulting drawing looked to have the same proportions as a normal hollow studded brick. In drawing this piece on graph paper, I decided that the inner diameter of the hollow stud would be around 2p. I also predicted that there would actually be another smaller unit based on the hollow stud facing outwards on this piece. I predicted that the small foot on this brick would protrude 1P by 1P because I knew that the edge of the stud on top came flush to the face with the sideways-facing stud. If a brick is 5P wide, and each wall is 1P wide, that suggests that studs would be 3P wide.Ī relatively common brick that is perfect to exercising this system is brick # 4070. ![]() I decided to name this unit a “Plastic” or “P” for short. My prediction was that the thickness of the wall of a common 1×1 brick would be 1/2 the thickness of a normal plate, and this would form a good standard unit to measure within a brick.
