An idea of mine when I was building earlier today. It would be a cool thing to have cylinder/cone/sphere/other shaped brick. Mostly because it would be easy to re-size. I've seen some people use cone-shaped meshes but having a part for that would be a whole lot easier. Opinions please.

@blake. I mentioned it in my post. I just thought a part for that would be so much easier to re-size.

I did read the post. You never heard of meshes because if you did, you would know that they are easy to use..

They may be easy to use to you. But I just think that using the re-size tool would save a lot of time.

Ok here is how you put a mesh..
1. Select a brick.
2. Click insert then object.
3. Click cylinder mesh, block mesh or special mesh.
4. When you click it, you will have the mesh you inserted. That is all you do.
EXTRA. For special meshes, go to properties and click the thing in it that says "head" and choose one of the shapes.

That had nothing to do with what I said. I know how to put a mesh in. My entire suggestion was making it faster to re-size these types of bricks, not how to make a mesh.

If you know how to make a mesh, why are you making this suggestion? It doesn't even take long to make a mesh.

I'm suggesting this because not how hard it is to make a mesh. For how it would be much simpler to re-size a brick of this shape using the re-size tool rather than going into properties and typing up the size of the mesh you want.

blakejm,
However easy it is to make meshes, his suggestion would make it much more simple. Also, as a plus, if the shapes had proper collision, it could make for much easier game building.

Here, check these out, some meshes with scripts to make them automatically fix themselves to scale:

Fruit@ Then meshes would be useless.

Not completely useless. You can still have meshes for fish, fruit, clouds, etc....

True. Maybe they could just add more shapes to the form factors.
