Yeah, it does clear up a few questions...though the description of part #17
looks a bit mixed up. As I said earlier, the part you based it on is 2x2x1, not
2x2x2, and you listed it as being “without center stud”, when you showed it
without the tube (the stud is still peeking out from the bottom of the image).
| |
where all of the pieces are named, however the pieces are not visible on the
page with the descriptions.
|
Hmm, why not? You’ve got images seen alongside the descriptions in other
galleries. Is there some sort of limit on how many you can show?
| |
less twisty if used beside another one between rows of 2x2 windows to create
curved walls.
|
Ah, so you want it as a structural piece, not a working hinge. That’s a
completely different situation.
| |
sorry, it’s made directly with ldraw’s 3x3 plate and i agree, the curved edge
does stick out too far, as it does in the real piece.
|
No, the curve on your tile actually sticks out even farther than it does on the
real piece. It almost looks like it’s a 1.5 stud radius instead of the 2-stud
radius that the plate version actually has (it should perfectly match the curve
at the bottom of the 4x4 round brick).
| |
if this piece were redesigned, i’d have it fit into the curve of the 4x4
macaroni or spindled curved fence. does that clear up confusion?
|
Yup, you’d prefer it to match the style of the 4x4 curved plate, where four
pieces make a true circle. And someone messed up the mlcad version of the plate
that you used as a basis for this tile.
| |
it is a 10 degree version. but sorry, if you superimpose the identical pieces
at 45 degree angles, it is an 8x8 with an interior corner missing. again,
these pieces were taken directly from ldraw.
|
Huh? The 10 degree slope rises over six studs, so a matched peak would have to
be twelve studs wide (six studs up, and six studs down). An 8x8 piece could
conceivably work, but you’d need an 8-wide peak to match up to the ends, like
the 2x4 and 2x2 peaks they have for the 33 degree slopes.
| |
it’s based on my desire to put a nice roof piece on a bay window.
|
Okay, that I can understand.
| |
this might be a start for lego; if they build 22a, they could save money not
building 22.
|
#22a would be a lot more usuable in other applications, so I’d expect to see
that a lot sooner than #22. BTW, while the mech part discussed elsewhere
isn’t what you’d been hoping for, if you let it hang 1 stud over the edge,
it should still make a good substitute. All you’d need is two faceted
corners and one 2x4 18 slope per bay window, probably with a 1x4 tile on
the top.
| |
definitely opens a new can of worms with all the other 33 degree pieces
missing.
|
It’s perfectly usable with the existing batch of 33 degree slopes. You’ve
already got 1-wide, 2-wide, and 4-wide bricks, with 2x2 and 2x4 peaks, and 3x3
corners. The only two pieces you’d really need to add are the concave corner
slope, and the extended peak, since you can work around the absence of the
concave/convex corner slope with a regular peak, a triple-slope peak, and an
extended peak.
