Unfortunately, many people use "beam" to refer to LDraw's
"Technic Brick" pieces.

So does LegoCo.
(E.g., "Small Beams and Plates", set # 5228,
on pg. 58 of the newest catalog I've received,
"Explore New Worlds" title.)
In my mind, that makes it "official".
(But then again, I could be wrong.)

Are there any other labels we could use?
... maybe "Technic Tile Beam"? (yuck)

"Technic Rounded Beam"
"Technic Smooth Beam"
"Technic Softline Beam"

"Technic Beam (No Studs)"
"Technic Beam Studless"

(...) Good point. But I wouldn't accept the wording in a catalog as 'official'. (...) Maybe. But that implies there are "beams with studs". And there aren't. The traditional "technic brick with holes" is a different animule than the new beams. Steve (24 years ago, 14-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)

I'm glad to see some good part name thinking has come up. (...) Your term "Open Center" and the reversed order is much better than my suggestion was. I agree with this name. (...) Of course, can't do without the size. Agree. (...) [snip] (...) (...) (24 years ago, 13-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
