It's the sixty degree angles that bother me the most about that. You just can't do those angles with Legos.

Show threadDavid Weir Jan 19

@JeffGrigg I suppose the 'nice' thing about a Penrose triangle is that the inner angles are 90 degrees at the vertices.

LEGO not Legos

LEGO® is a registered trademark of the LEGO group, but all too often it is referred to incorrectly as Legos or LEGOs. This is a simple site to help people understand the difference.

Attached: 1 image Penrose triangle rendered using cubes. This is impossible to render by depth sorting cube primitives or by using a conventional z-buffer.

@catsalad it's clearly an isometric perspective drawing with perfectly aligned corners requesting direct downward vertical movement,

it's just that the arrows are unfortunately positioned, probably by someone thinking in such terms and not in practical ones, such as:

"which holes would an end user be trying to align"

Show threadManniCalaveraJan 20

@estelle @catsalad You may be right on the money here, there's a diagram in the thread that shows this.
The "unfortunate positioning" is further proof of Legos decline, as described in the thread linked. Just uninterested in the possibilities as a toy, and wanting to milk licensing to no end.
