Hmm - It *should* be possible - unless I'm horribly mistaken (won't know for
sure until I get home and do some comparisons), the area for a single stud on a
pyramid roof peak should be the same as the area for a stud in the "corner" of
a corner piece. They should be the same area, given that it's the same shape,
and the angle of the slope doesn't change.
What I want to see is a 3x3 concave corner piece. - Anyone (with more math
skills than me) want to see if that's possible?
Of course, if I did have those, then I'd want low-slope gable connectors...
