== Classification by Shape ==

Beyond simple rectangular forms, LEGO bricks come in numerous specialized shapes.

=== Standard Rectangular Bricks ===

The fundamental form used across the building system. All rectangular bricks follow the same height (9.6mm for a standard brick height).

=== Slope/Angled Bricks ===

Also called "roof tiles" or "slopes," these bricks have angled tops and are essential for creating pitched roofs, ramps, and curved architectural elements. Slopes are available in numerous stud sizes and angles.

Examples:

* '''45° Slopes''' – 1x1, 1x2, 1x3, 1x4 and 2x1, 2x2, 2x3, 2x4 variants
* '''33° Slopes''' – Less steep angle; used for subtle roof pitches
* '''Inverted Slopes''' – Angled downward; creates varied architectural details

=== Curved and Specialty Bricks ===

* '''[[Arch Bricks|Arches]]''' – Curved bricks creating rounded structures and architectural details
* '''[[Cylinder Bricks|Cylinders]]''' – Round elements for building towers and pillars
* '''[[Wedge Bricks|Wedges]]''' – Triangular bricks for specialized building needs
* '''[[Cheese Slope|Cheese Slopes]]''' – Uniquely designed slope with a distinctive shape
* '''[[Panel Bricks|Panels]]''' – Flat decorative elements used for walls and surfaces

=== Connector and Specialty Pieces ===

* '''[[Brick with Stud|Bricks with Side Studs]]''' – Allow stacking in non-traditional orientations
* '''[[Jumper Plate|Jumper Plates]]''' – Enable studs to be placed on half-stud offsets
* '''[[Bracket Brick|Brackets]]''' – L-shaped connectors for structural bracing
* '''[[Click Brick|Click Brick]]''' – Specialized connector piece
