    If you lay the baseplate on top of a plate with studs, the total height = 2 plates, so you can have a flush surface. The baseplate is removable unless you connect the adjacent studs with a brick.

    If you have enough parts to spare, and it’s important to have the surfaces at the same height, a baseplate sitting on top of regular bricks or plates has the same height as a regular plate. So baseplate on top of regular plate = 2 plate height.
    Not always useful-if you have enough plates to support it, you can probably just use those plates and skip the baseplate. But sometimes it’s helpful because you want a large surface in a particular color. It can also make for great roofs or similar, if you’re running out of large plates.

      really? you couldn't figure that out? Why play lego in the first place then. Maybe you should go back and watch some teletubbies

    Now you have a height difference between the brick and modified 2 x 2 plate with studs on the side. 2 base plates stacked are the same as a standard plate. You could just use 2 base plates

      Yeah but you still can't connect things to the bottom of a baseplate

    You shoud try the method using element 20482 (Tile, Round 1 x 1 with Bar and Pin Holder).
    They fit inside the bottom holes of baseplates and make them pretty much exactly 2 plates tall.

    Good solution, but keep in mind that this is an 'illegal' technique as the holes in the technic brick don't allow for deformation like the bottom of a normal plate or brick would, i.e. the inserted studs may lose clutch over time by being compressed. Your Lego, your prerogative of course.

    I have this problem too when building Lego Minecraft mocs, and usually I'd just put like cardboard under the baseplate or blend the obvious half-stud height with tiles, but that works too!

  • @needfoolthings
    @needfoolthings Месяц назад +2

    Isn't there a half plate height difference at the top of the connecting pieces? What now?
    And what if the reason you wanna connect the two is because you'd like then to remain ground level like in, you know, most sets?

  • @ivanbessonov5405
    @ivanbessonov5405 2 месяца назад +4

    Nooooo, pin holes are at a different hight than studs on a similar brick, it accounts for a hight of "lego" letters on top of studs. You should definitely find that famous "illegal building techniques" pdf

  • @USebaB
    @USebaB Месяц назад

    The technic bricks with holes and modified Plate 2 x 2 with studs on side are not flush on top, you have replicated the baseplate problem. A baseplate much like a brackets side has a hight of half a plate. Therefore you can apply basic SNOT techniques: For example put headlight bricks on the Baseplate and put technic bricks with holes on its side. Its holes will attach to the plate.

      Plates like that don't come in much larger sizes I'm afraid. There are baseplates in tan that are 32x32, though
