Hello everyone,

wouldn't a 4070 + 3070b equal a 3005?
I am building a MOC and it makes no sense to do this as the 3070b is put on the
headlight section of it. Am I missing something?
The top stud would be in the same place as a stud of 3005, right?

Thanks

The headlight section of
 
Part No: 4070 Name: Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Headlight
* 		4070 Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Headlight
Parts: Brick, Modified
is recessed from the edge of the brick by
1/2 the thickness of a plate/tile. If one of [Part=3070b] was added to the headlight
section, it would stick out from the edge of the brick by 1/2 a plate, whereas
 
Part No: 3005 Name: Brick 1 x 1
* 		3005 Brick 1 x 1
Parts: Brick
is a full 1 brick and 0 plates in width.

Part 4070 can be combined with many of the brackets, such as
 
Part No: 99780 Name: Bracket 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Inverted
* 		99780 Bracket 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Inverted
Parts: Bracket
which
sticks out from the side of a brick by 1/2 a plate thickness. When brackets are
combined with the headlight brick, there would be a 1 plate difference in width
between the two sets of sideways facing studs.

This is probably most useful if you are trying to add texture or variations in
thickness to your build, or to add some strength. There is a wonderful video
from Tiago Catarino on Youtube about brackets and headlight bricks that delves
deeper into their usefulness, which I would recommend.

I hope this helps,

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, this is the correct answer. Side note, I am so glad I am just old
enough to not have had to experience the majority of common core.
