I guess I’m missing the point. How would this be easier to deal with than 10 high corridors (and subsequent floors at 10, 20, 30, etc)? I get the part about larger things underneath, but that’s it. Something else to it?

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. 10 high corridors would allow a module to have only one tall (internally 8 high) floor for every corridor level. 12 high corridors would allow a module to have two normal (internally 5 high) floors for every corridor level. I hope that makes more sense.

Mike, I think I see what you are getting at, but I think you are mistaken. You are refering to Minifigs required 5 bricks height for clearance, right? But if we raise the corridor height (that means the corridor floor) to 10 bricks high, that would allow for two floors below the corridor level AND the corridor level. You are only going to lose a single plate height of headroom on one level. That should still be enough clearance, yes?

A single plate thickness for a floor won’t even come close to cutting it for the moonbase I plan on building. http://news.lugnet.com/events/brickfest/?n=1398

Really, I think 10 high intervals would be too limiting for people that want to make 2 levels in between corridor levels. Isn’t the whole point of moonbase to keep it as open ended as possible? I just think 12 high intervals works far better in that regard. The only thing I can figure 10 high intervals has going for it is the ease of numbers. (ie. 10,20,30... as opposed to 12,24,36...) That just seems a very silly reason to adopt 10 high as standard to me.

(...) What about this? (URL) works in intervals of 10 bricks. --Bram (21 years ago, 2-Sep-03, to lugnet.space)
