I think it is somewhat reasonable to describe the slopes in terms of their
use as roof pieces, though obviously the "half pyramid" end piece and the
2x2 peak with bite taken out of it (so it can form a junction or turn in a
roof peak) do cause confusion. Perhaps if we called these "1x2 end cap" and
"2x2 peak junction".

I think that the word slope should be in there, along with the degrees of the
slope.  Those two slopes would then be "1x2 45 degree end cap slope" and "2x2
45 degree peak slope junction".  Although, "half-pyramid" fits the "end cap"
best, as that is what it is.

Slightly better might be:

1x2 45 degree slope, end cap
2x2 45 degree slope, peak junction

The way I have put my inventories in is to have the size be in a
separate cell from the rest of the description, as a result, an alpha
sort would put these two pieces with the rest of the 45 degree slopes.

(...) Those were just examples anyways. :) But I still Think "half-pyramid" is intuitive than "end cap". Jeff - "That is definitely *not* an ordinary spell!" (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.db.inv, lugnet.general)
