Does this mean that if there is a 1x1 brick you would need to make it 3x3x3? A
2x4 brick would be 6x12?
I have often wondered about this as I have heard that Lego builders do this. So
if you have a 1x2 half overhanging without support on the bottom you would need
to have a 3x3x3 overhanging without support on the bottom?
