Znap was designed by Lego to be fully integrateable with system elements.  The
znap stud circumference is tangent to a brick stud circumference at the 4
cardinal points, meaning you can mount a system brick on a znap connector stud.
The height of a purple 4 ay connector is one plate above znap beam height, so
you can build bricks over a znap girder by mounting a brick along the znap studs
and clicking a plate beneath the brick between the studs.  Results in a nearly
seamless flow from znap elements to brick elements.  The socket at the end of a
znap brick will take a system stud side on, meaning you can mount say a double
arch to a vertical lego wall by incorporating two headlight bricks into the
wall.  These are all mathematical characteristics Lego would have exploited in
3rd and 4th year sets, if the Znap line had been continued.

(...) You should look around Brickshelf.com, someone was working on a monorail system using Znap as the rail. Perhaps you could intergrate the track and the bridge's topmost strut into one Znap thing-bob. Aaron (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.znap)
