I agree, the studless slope would be very useful.
Most of the existing slopes could be offered in
studless half-wide form.

How about some more:

* inverse slopes in 60-degrees

* inverse slopes in 3-long, 4-long and 8-long versions,
  just like regular slopes

* 75-degree and 60-degree slopes in 3-long, 4-long,
  and 8-long versions, just like 45-degree slopes;
  30-degree slopes in 8-long as well

* convex and concave corner slopes of all
  reasonable existing slope angles
  The ones that don't exist yet are:
  * concave 75,
  * convex and concave 60,
  * concave 30
  * would this work for the new 20-degree slopes?

* convex and concave inverse corner slopes of all
  reasonable existing slope angles:
  * concave 75 (convex 75 exist, but are very rare)
  * convex and concave 60
  * convex and concave 30

Note: From steepest to shallowest,
I'm defining the 2x2x3 slopes as 75-degree,
the 2x2x2 slopes as 60-degree,
the 2x2x1 slopes as 45-degree,
the 4x3x1 slopes as 30-degree,
the new 2x4x1 slopes as 20-degree,
though the actual angles may be a little different.

What I would like to see is something where we could build roofs of varying slope degree and have short pieces where we could build in a small attic study part, or something like that. The only problem I can see is it may well end up being a series (...) (24 years ago, 11-Nov-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.lego.direct)
