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 ((URL) and (URL) ), and tried to make a 4 stud long all. The 4 studs have an "offset", which is almost a right number of bricks, (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

Any other ideas anyone? My basic idea is to have a 2x 2 2/3 window with rounded top in the 45 degree walls. What kind of solutions have you found for this? BR S (...) (20 years ago, 4-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) 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 (...) (20 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 (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Close, but not quite. It's actually a 6-stud long wall in a 4x5x6-stud triangle. The 3x4x5 ratio is measured from the centers of the studs, not the studs themselves. Going 3 studs deep and 4 studs wide actually gives you slightly more than 4.5 (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Math is harsh. Wouldn't it be *better* all around if sqrt(2) were exactly 1.4? Or 1.5, even better. (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Well, that really depends on which parts you use. The brick hinges that were suggested have the hinge on the corners, so the wall really would be 5 studs long. --Bram (20 years ago, 5-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) Ah, my mistake. I was thinking in terms of a free-standing wall section that was attached only at the ends. It has the advantage of allowing you to do an angled step-out in a long wall, but the disadvantage of leaving visible gaps if you one (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)

(...) I am not interested in a free wall, but a wall that is just in any way attached to the rest of the building. The hinges were just an idea, there are probably other solutions to this. Using hinges will give a gap, but I can hardly see how it (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
