| | | | What dimension should I use in the name? The maximum "bulge" in the dome (ie 8 x 12 x 10) or the base size (ie 6 x 8 x 10) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | (...) I think the only vaguely similar part is 6121 'Roof Piece 4 x 8 x 6 Half Pyramid' (URL) happy with the inserion of "half" in the existing peeron name 'Roof Piece 8 x 12 x 10 Half Onion Dome'. .........^^^^......... Chris (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | -----Original Message----- (...) Sounds good to me. Next question. What's the correct category? Roof? (Which makes sense but isn't on the 'approved' list in the FAQ) Panel? (Which kinda makes sense if the name is 'Panel 8 x 12 x 10 Half Onion Dome' (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | (...) I am not so keen on "half" because it's not really exactly a half of a dome, it's rather more than half. (put two back to back to see what I mean). I'd support calling it "partial" or something like that. Or even "facade" since I think the (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | | I would have to disgree. The part is half a dome - it takes two parts to make a complete dome, therefore one part is only half of the dome. The fact that the resulting shape is not half of a circle is largely irrelevant IMHO. Even if you remove the (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

| | | | | | (...) I would argue that two parts back to back make something that is not an actual dome, but rather some shape never seen in reality. (...) I would disagree, it is in fact highly relevant. If I take an idealised onion dome and divide it in half, I (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

The fact that something doesn't exist in reality is hardly a reason to reject a name for what is a toy. (...) (20 years ago, 16-May-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
