This topic will be used to announce future rule updates and/or clarifications that all BoBS members should be aware of. The new rules or clarifications will of course be added to their appropriate topic as well.
If you wish to discuss a new update or have any questions, please use the Introduction and Starting Thread.
To kick things off, here is our first announcement:
Property Size Rule Clarification:
Sizes on property charts are guidelines only. We do not expect you to build squares, nor do we expect you to hit the exact limit and we allow for a pretty broad range of leeway. But of course, if we notice that a builder has built a MOC that is noticeably below his or her average, we reserve the right to reject builds or ask the builder to make changes.
So for an example:
Let's say you want to build a Large Residence. A substantially sized 40x40 would fit the bill, but a 32x32, even if it were five stories tall, obviously comes a lot closer to being a Medium, and you would be expected to license it as such. On the other hand, if you wanted to build a huge 64x64 mansion, that fits into the Large category as well.
Unlimited Property Size Rule Update:
Properties that say unlimited actually have a 100x100 minimum (that is, 10,000 studs in any orientation). However, these can be group projects with multiple builders collaborating to reach the large footprint.
