(...) Ahh, good points. Both the "2x2 Cylinder Brick" and the "2x2 Quarter-Circle Brick" are 1 brick tall, but a cylinder (in geometry) actually has a volume and a circle (in geometry) has only circumference to speak of.

In your terminology, though, I'd argue that they should not be called circles! Circles have no thickness. What will you do if TlG brings out the following bricks... a 4 radius cylinder with a 2 radius cylinder subtracted b 4 radius cylinder with a 3 (...)

(...)
