Would making the pattern face of a slope (or wedge) a subpart to be used with

wedges), it would be easier to make the pattern a flat subpart, then rotate the
subpart to the desired angle. I got this ideal from the patterned slope from set
7130 - Snowspeeder, and the patterned wedge from set 4500 - Rebel Snowspeeder.
Unless I am mistaken, the wedge 4 x 4 has the exact same pattern printed on it
as the slope brick 18 2 x 4 - and I think both pieces have the same angle to
their slope.

Here's peeron link's for comparison of the two pieces:

hi mark,

I did the same for the TV-logo on the wedge 4x4. here is the code:

the subpart 71472s01.dat has been rotated using mlcad. the angle is 18,something
degree. I don't remember the exact figures but doing some tangent maths you'll
find out :-)
