| | | (...) 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)

| | | | | (...) 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 (...) (21 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 (...) (21 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 (...) (21 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build)
