The above provides description of the structural configurations of main components of exemplary embodiments of the present invention. The actuation method and technical effects of the present invention are further explained in the following.

As shown inFIGS.4and5, when the polygonal 3D building blocks K approach each other, the magnetic members M of each one of the polygonal 3D building blocks K are magnetically attracted to each other, such that the outer abutment surface11B and/or the second side edges112of each one of the polygonal 3D building blocks K abut against each other, thereby allowing the polygonal 3D building blocks K to be assembled to form different shapes depending upon the user's arrangement.

Furthermore, as shown inFIGS.10and12, the control circuit module50is used to control the magnetic attachment of the magnetic members M, such that the attachment method of each one of the polygonal 3D building blocks can be controlled independently, in order to change the arrangement type of each polygonal 3D building block K via remote control method, thereby making the control method more convenient
