I put this in lugnet.town, but then found this group as well, so...
I’m working on my first house-type model and have a roof question for you
experienced town-builders.
Unfortunately, I cannot use the roof slopes for this project, because the
roof is sloped at 30 degrees rather than 45 degrees, and has a valley-type
intersection (see the areas labeled “v” in this picture at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rf-iso1.gif). If LEGO only had
33-degree double concaves like the 45-degree ones, I’d be all set.
The intersection of the two roof segments are at a 90-degree angle, as in
that Wikipedia picture.
I need to sit down and play with this for a while this weekend, but I
figured I would also check with folks here to see if anyone has any
suggestions.
Thanks!

Angling some wing plates is the only solution I’m aware of and it’s not that
great IMO. Basically it’s a nasty problem. You may be able to try something
tricky with 1x1 slopes too.

And my apologies for responding to myself but... aren’t you somewhat of an
expert of multi-layered, multi-hinged shapes? You could probably do something
really neat by hiding a multi-angled shell under plates stuck on studs up (or
even with backside out) to get both shape and texture done well.
