It’s JUST the slope part, no studs at all.

So I guess it’s like:

Yes, a lot like that except without nearly as much vertical part, IIRC the entire part is only 2 plates high. I think. I was so excited about the overall set that I didn’t put enough peering into that specific part.

If you like, think of taking a 1x2 roof peak and cutting it in half. I just can’t remember if the slope is the same, or different or how flush the slope is.
