Lego has an odd ratio where two bricks wide equals five plates or 1-2/3 bricks tall. If you want to add detail to your builds, you need to deal with that ratio and what it entails.
Adult Fan Of Lego is one, don’t know SNOT. Bricks are the cube-like… Bricks. Plates are the thin pieces where 3 stacked makes them as tall as a brick. I believe the parent was taking about how ratios between widths and heights are important in terms of building your own models, utilizing pieces that rotate bricks sideways.
One trick I kind of know of is in regards to the ramp pieces having steps when lifted by one brick. It makes that shingled look. I believe the solution is to use ramps (without top pegs) and raise it by 2 plates, sinking the flat lip by 1/3 of a brick. But I have no idea if this requires certain pieces as I’m just tangential to AFOL
SNOT is Studs Not On Top. Sometimes I’m order to get the look that you want from your build, it is better to flip part of the build on its side to get a better aligned view stack of plates to what you’re trying to build.

You need to look at Modulex (now defunct iirc)
No, I don’t have that kind of money.
Lookin’s is free. Touchin or ownin’s a different matter.
No idea what this means

Just some SNOT ratios that AFOL need to remember.
Oh that clears it up completely. Thanks!
