Any flaws?

Hmm... Some
Very few
None
Lots
Its a flaw altogether

Author Topic: Blockland Measurement Theory  (Read 3711 times)

I have developed a new Blockland measurement theory, turning feet into studs, and studs into feet!
With this, we could be able to convert real buildings into Blockland.
We may also measure our own buildings in a more sophisticated way!
I urge you to look into this subject, it could help many elite builders out there! Please point out any flaws, and if you are the "picture book" type of person,
here is some pictures to go with this subject!
Equation: 1 Foot = 4 Studs      6 Inches = 2 Studs

But why over complicate a measurement system that is already universal and easy to comprehend?

awesome

we ARE 2 feet tall

But why over complicate a measurement system that is already universal and easy to comprehend?
Like I said, this is mainly for modeling. It is basicly a conversion. Like inches to feet, feet to yards.
I will be putting this in to the metric system as well.

Well, we are plastic figures.

Well, we are plastic figures.
Then why are you measuring in feet over centimeters?

Actually, Blockheads are about 5 bricks tall, so I'd say more about 15 in.

I prefer centimeters.

Let's base things off the Blockhead.

[sd = stud]

Blockhead:Human Relation = > 5 studs > 150 cm / Ratio: 1sd:30cm

OR

Blockhead:LifeSize Relation = > 2.5 cm > 5 studs / Ratio: 1cm:2sd

They're the same size as a legoman. 3 4X4s and 2 4X1 plates.

You know you're not the first person to make measurements like this, right? :P Personally I don't think you have it right, at least not exactly. I was trying to make a cathedral for my history class one time and I got some decimal.

It's important to be exact when working with huge objects such as buildings, so I'd recalculate.

So total standardization in blockland?

1 in.= 0.33 squares.


You do the rest to figure it all out.

Even thought this is totally inaccurate.


Look at the bedroom map.

If an average bed is about 2 1/2 ft - 3 ft it would make us less then 2 feet, which is what this theory is trying to sell.

So...


OBJECTION! Your theory has been proven to be wrong. So kindly shut the forget up and let Einstein take over.

50 bricks = 75 feet
5 bricks = 7.5 feet

1 stud = 1.5 feet

Height of a brick = 1.2 the width of a stud

Height of a brick = 1.8 feet

Height of Minifig = 5 bricks

Height of Minifig = 9 feet

No.
A bricklength on the Z axis is 2.5 XY-length bricks
