 | | A window using SNOT and SNIR techniques —Erik Amzallag
| | | | Hello, After the unofficial presentation in a false scientific document [1], I'm proud to announce you my latest application with SNIR technique [2]. (URL) This window is a combinaison of SNIR and SNOT. When two 1x1 parts are placed in diagonal and (...) (20 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.announce, FTX) !!

| | | | | | Very cool window! But how are the studs not in a row? The SNOT I see, but not the SNIR. Marc Nelson Jr. (20 years ago, 16-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | | | (...) I beleive the phase comes about because they started off not in a a row (well not in a standard row anyway), the second image shows them placed on a diagonal grid of SIR (Studs In a Row). However I would say that they have ended up in a (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Re: A window using SNOT and SNIR techniques —Erik Amzallag
| | | | | | | (...) Thanks :) Well, it depends maybe of our vision of what is SNIR. The 1x1 parts are not adjacent but in diagonal. And the alignment of the turned parts creates an offset. So we obtain a lign of studs, not in the standard way but in diagonal. (...) (20 years ago, 17-Sep-04, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle, lugnet.general, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Well, to be picky, it's not *exactly* the same thickness. A tile is 0.4 "stud-widths" thick, but the distance between 2 such windows is about 0.414 (square-root of 2 minus 1) stud-widths. Over a larger area you would start to notice the (...)
