This feels like a kind of dark side (painting or cutting bricks) but I've
just crossed over to using half-stud offset techniques.
Are there other ways to do this without 1x2 center-stud tiles?
Some have used them to create half-stud setbacks or overhangs. I nudged the
top half of a 30-wide structure to give it symmetry with the lower half.
In this case I have a building whose lower symmetry requires an even number
of studs: doors and windows 4 wide. The upper half has panels separated by
1x1 bricks, with one separator roughly in the middle. It looks dorky when
the central 1x feature is not centered! What to do... I shorten the upper
wall to 29 wide and center it using 1x2 center-stud tiles underneath. It
works, but at an enormous cost in 1x2 center-stud tiles.
The missing half-brick at the end is hidden by a L-shaped 2x2 brick corner
on the outside, and is not noticeable from the inside.
Luckily the color scheme calls for gray, the most common color.

| (...) Yes - the other way that I know of requires a piece with a hollow stud, and a 1x tile or brick. Tiles and bricks have "posts" which go between the studs normally. However they are the same diameter as the holes in hollow stud pieces (the 1x2 (...) (23 years ago, 7-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)

| For a building I made, I had to make offsets like you are describing, and I used 1x1 round plates on top of plates. The result is shown in this picture: (URL) you look on top of the little frilly thing, ie the balcony, you can see a small gap (...) (23 years ago, 7-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)

| (...) Plate 1 x 4 with Offset <part:4590> can be used also. When building my ferris- wheel, I needed to center a 6 x 6 plate in the middle of a 7-wide space. These did the job just fine. They may not disapear as seamlessly as the 1x2 plates with 1 (...) (23 years ago, 8-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)
