| | | | | | | | (...) With the notable exception of the 45 degree slopes, none of the other slope parts have exactly the inclination used in the part description. Note that all have a small vertical section (or step) at the front which causes the angle to deviate (...) (16 years ago, 30-Sep-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

What is the official LEGO name for the part or doesn't LEGO name it's parts anyway? Do (...) (16 years ago, 1-Oct-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
