Brick By Brick Challenge

Here are my bricks that I have done:

Achievements Earned: Seven (Six Bricks, One Help)

Regular Brick:

This brick was made by taking the general Rectangle, and extruding it up.


T-Bone Brick:

This Brick was made using the line tool.  With a base of 1", I extended a 135 degree angle with .25", another 135 degree angle, and a 1" line.  Same process is repeated on the opposite side, and a 1" line connects the two blocks.

Axe Head Brick:

This brick was origionally a rectangle, with an arch attatched to one side.  I took the degree angle, and reversed it on the long sides.  The result is an axe head tesselation brick.

"Tri Head" Brick:

Starting at the origin, I made a 1" circle, and 60 degree angles extending from the origin.  With "Spokes" on the wheel, I "cut" archs out on three sides, with a result of a triangular brick, with the corners cut off.

MC Escher Brick:

The name says it all.  Increadibly hard, and I don't know how people were able to actually succeed in tesselating his work.  I did the best that I could, although the extrusion tool wasn't working properly.


Create-a-Brick:
This was a triangular brick, which will act as a corner for bricks.  As alot of yards are uneven, and the tesselations will eventually end somewhere. 



Achievement:  Giving Help:

Ezequiel asked me for help, and asked on how to make the curves (Archs).  I told him, to use the curb tool (Next to the line), to link the two points.  Ezequiel can Testify, that I helped him.
