Editing Brick Types (section)

== Classification by Size ==

LEGO bricks are primarily classified by their stud dimensions (width × length). The stud measurement refers to the number of circular connectors on the top surface of the brick.

=== 1-Stud Bricks ===

These are the smallest standard bricks in the system.

* '''[[1x1 Brick|1x1]]''' – The most basic building unit; used for detail work, decorative elements, and filling gaps
* '''[[1x1 Slope|1x1 Slope]]''' – Angled variant used for roofing and creating visual interest

=== 2-Stud Bricks ===

Narrow, elongated bricks useful for creating thin walls and structural elements.

* '''[[1x2 Brick|1x2]]''' – Small rectangular brick; fundamental for varied wall patterns and details
* '''[[2x2 Brick|2x2]]''' – Square brick; excellent for compact building and creating sturdy columns
* '''[[2x2 Slope|2x2 Slope]]''' – Angled version; commonly used for roof construction

=== 3-Stud Bricks ===

Medium-length bricks that provide additional variety in building patterns.

* '''[[1x3 Brick|1x3]]''' – Creates varied horizontal patterns and structural variety
* '''[[1x3 Slope|1x3 Slope]]''' – Used in roofing for medium-width roof sections

=== 4-Stud Bricks ===

Among the most commonly used bricks in the LEGO system.

* '''[[1x4 Brick|1x4]]''' – Narrow four-stud brick; essential for creating regular wall patterns
* '''[[2x4 Brick|2x4]]''' – The iconic standard brick; the most versatile brick type used in the majority of LEGO sets
* '''[[1x4 Slope|1x4 Slope]]''' – Standard roofing element; creates consistent roof lines

=== 5+ Stud Bricks ===

Larger bricks for building expansive structures and foundations.

* '''[[1x6 Brick|1x6]]''' – Extended length for long, straight elements
* '''[[2x6 Brick|2x6]]''' – Combines width and length for large structural pieces
* '''[[1x8 Brick|1x8]]''' – Used for creating substantial walls and bases
* '''[[2x8 Brick|2x8]]''' – Large brick for building broad structures quickly
* '''[[1x10 Brick|1x10]]''' – Extra-long brick; useful for extended horizontal elements
* '''[[2x10 Brick|2x10]]''' – Among the largest standard rectangular bricks; ideal for base layers
