Can the classic brick take the form of a circle? I was thinking that maybe we could change the size property of the brick to a circle? i.e. something like test_brick.size = circle or brick.CFrame = circle...

Can a brick take the form of a circle?

Yes you can turn the plain old block into a sphere or cylinder with the Shape property. There are 3 shapes to consider.
local part = Instance.new("Part",workspace)
local function ChangeShape(shape)
part.Shape = Enum.PartType[shape]
print(part.CFrame)
end
while true do
ChangeShape("Ball")
wait(1)
ChangeShape("Cylinder")
wait(1)
ChangeShape("Block")
wait(1)
end

Thanks for your answer. Does changing the shape also change the CFrame of the brick (does part.CFrame change)?

Nope it doesn't change. You can find that out by inserting print(part.CFrame) into the function. Here, I'll add that in for you.

So could you elaborate on what is happening, behind the scenes, when you change the part type? Is a new mesh being applied or what?

For that, I don't have an answer. Probably post that as a different question and see if anyone knows.

sphere or cylinder?
both
Just flatten one of the cylinder's faces and you get a circle...?

I'm looking for my brick to take a circular shape rather than square.
Why not use a mesh?
I'm just doing an experiment with what's possible and what isn't - I want to see how flexible a brick can be, does this make sense?
My specific context is that I'm experimenting with rays and I want a ray in the form of a circle - I want to project one ray shaped like a circle NOT project many small rays that together form a circle. I want to project once!
i dont understand
