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 "extra" bit at the open side,
the part is not circular. It varies from circular at the top, through
an series of increasing and then decreasing elipses, and back to
circular (but offset from the top circle by 20LDU) at the bottom.
You can see this placing two at right angles and then comparing the z=0
and x=0 plane profiles

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 reason it's a bit more than half is so that models will look
OK from
other than directly straight on.
Do we have precedent for calling things "half" that aren't quite half?
(either
more, or less...)
