45 degree walls using hinges?

Hi all!

I am planning a new building, for which I'll need a 45 degree wall.

I was playing aroung with some hinge parts
(http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3830 and
http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=3831 ), and tried to make a 4 stud
long all. The 4 studs have an "offset", which is almost a right number of
bricks, but maybe 1/10 too less.

I am looking for a great solution, for a short wall (e.g. 4 studs), app 45
degrees turned, and which connects in both ends to a fixed place.

Any ideas?

(...) If those dimensions are not critical, you can do a 5 stud long wall at 36 degrees using a 3x4x5 triangular arrangement. Since sqrt(2) is not a rational number, using hinges as you suggest is technically impossible. It sort of works for a (...) (21 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) If it's not absolutely necessary to connect both ends to a fixed place, you could always just use one hinge brick on one side, and "tilt" the resulting wall at an approximate 45 degree angle. -Bryan (21 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
