Hi Please take a look this picture (URL) want to build the similar roof as in picture, but I don't know how to build it, does anyone give me a .dat file for this kind of roof? Thanks a lot.

Zhengrong: (...) Isn't it just some large half-arches and 45 degree slope bricks? Play well, Jacob -- "Any newsgroup where software developers hang out is an Emacs newsgroup." (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

(...) This is a pic of an instance of Dan Siskind's Brickmania(tm) 002 Crossroads Tavern kit if I am not mistaken. (URL) Jacob is right. It IS "just some large half arches and 45 degree slope bricks". However they are put together in a pretty clever (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

Both Larry and Jacob are correct. All of the roof pieces are from 5151 Red Steep Slope Pieces, which are probably still available from Shop@Home. The arches serve as supports as the roof follows the steps of the arch bricks. These bricks are (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

Hi, Dan. Is it possible to use slope 33 to build such roof? I found most of your castle are built by slope 45. Thanks a lot Zhengrong (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

Hi Zhengrong, The key part to Dan's roof design is this one: (URL) there has ever been a 33 degree version of this part, I've never seen it and don't believe it exists (I'd but a ton of them if they did). There is a variety of this design you could (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

It looks like it might be both, Zhengrong. You'd need the arch for support, but the concave 45 provides the shape of the roof. That's what I thought you were after. I think that's why you are getting confusing answers from all of us, we aren't sure (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

That shape is casued by (URL) being placed on top of itself many times. That part has only been made in 45 degrees as far as I know. -Dave (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

(...) I think if there were a 33 degree version there would be a LOT of very excited people. The part that ties the peak in is also needed unless you fudged a little. And that may be a harder part to do, actually, if you think about what it has to (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)

(...) For that you'll need <part:3049>, to go on the top where the ridge meets the main slope of the roof. There's a black one in the Guarded Inn, and red ones were available in a Santa figure many years ago. Jason J Railton (23 years ago, 5-Nov-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
