I put this in lugnet.town, but then found this group as well, so...
I’m working on my first house-type model and have a roof question for you
experienced town-builders.
Unfortunately, I cannot use the roof slopes for this project, because the roof
is sloped at 30 degrees rather than 45 degrees, and has a valley-type
intersection (see the areas labeled “v” in this picture at Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Rf-iso1.gif). If LEGO only had 33-degree
double concaves like the 45-degree ones, I’d be all set.
The intersection of the two roof segments are at a 90-degree angle, as in that
Wikipedia picture.
I need to sit down and play with this for a while this weekend, but I figured I
would also check with folks here to see if anyone has any suggestions.
Thanks!

| (...) Duane, a 3x3 (double concave) 33 degree "valley" slope has not yet been produced by LEGO. Neither has a 1x2 (triple) 33 degree half pyramid roof peak, nor the parts needed for an "L" or "T" roof ridge. So that makes it difficult to produce a (...)

| (...) Angling some wing plates is the only solution I'm aware of and it's not that great IMO. Basically it's a nasty problem. You may be able to try something tricky with 1x1 slopes too. Tim (17 years ago, 16-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)

| (...) I have tried 2 workarounds for the lack of such a piece: 1. Fill in the valley where such piece would go with one 1x3 slope plus 1x1 plates and tiles to approximate. (I like Tim's mention of the new 1x1 slopes here). Result: not too great. 2. (...) (17 years ago, 17-Feb-08, to lugnet.build.arch, FTX)
