Ok, I could go with:
1x2 45 degree slope, half pyramid
Here's an attempt at the rest of the more or less normal slope parts:
1x2 45 degree slope
2x2 45 degree slope
3x2 45 degree slope (3)
...
1x2 45 degree slope, peak
2x2 45 degree slope, peak
...
2x2 45 degree slope, inside concave corner (1)
2x2 45 degree slope, outside convex corner (1)
2x2 45 degree slope, peak junction
1x2 45 degree inverse slope
...
2x2 45 degree inverse slope, outside convex corner (1)
2x2 45 degree inverse slope, inside concave corner (1)(2)
1x3 45 degree inverse slope, double
2x4 45 degree inverse slope, double with 2x2x.6 channel (4)
(1) on these, I used somewhat redundant descriptors to make it a little
easier for people to find the part. I would be comfortable though with
using only concave/convex or inside/outside.
(2) does this part actually exist?
(3) normally I am in favor of smallest dimension x largest dimension (x
height if specification needed), but I think in the case of slopes it is
best that the dimensions always be organized the same way, with the 1st
dimension indicating the length of the slope, and the 2nd (generally)
implying the steepness of the slope.
(4) this is one of the boat hull/fusalage/throne pieces, anyone got a
better name?
