I agree with the first column (measuring from the bottom of vertical portion
of the slope to the top of the slope), but not the second. In LDraw parts,
the little vertical portion of the slope is 4 LDU, not 2, so the ratios are
Brick | Single-Brick Single-Brick
Size | Slope Angle
----------+------------------------------
6x8x1 | 1:7 8.130102°
2x4x1 | 1:3 18.434949°
1x3x1 | 1:2 26.565051°
1x2x1 | 1:1 45.000000°
2x2x2 | 11:5 65.556045°
1x2x3 | 17:5 72.610460°
But then again, the LDraw measurements may not be exact.

| (...) d'Oh! -- Yes, you're absolutely right -- thank you for the correction! (And I had this funny feeling when I posted that I was doing something wrong in the measurement. The vertical base part is 1/6 brick height, not 1/2 of 1/16.) --Todd (23 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad)

| (...) Shouldn't this be: 1x2x3 | 17:5 73.610460° Anyways, I've checked out most of the these calculations and measurements and they seem correct to me. - Mladen (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-01, to lugnet.cad)
