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 (...) (23 years ago, 7-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)

(...) 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)

(...) I can think of a few things-- 1. Various pieces have hollow studs on top. The obvious example being technic beams, but other things too. You can place these 1/2 stud off when placed underneath 1x bricks-- although note that the 1x brick must (...) (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)
