Part names. One of my favorite topics. :)

I always had a problem with “convex” and “concave” (and, of course, their
“doubled” bretheren). I’ve always associated those words with curved parts.
But I can’t really think of a better way to describe them..

In the Brickopedia I got away from those two terms, since I agree with you...
they can be confusing at times. :)
For example, I called this:
an ‘Outer Corner’ as in the way it’s sometimes used to create the outer corner
or edge of a roof.
And I called this:
an ‘Inner Corner’ as in the way it’s sometimes used to create the inner corner
where two parts of a roof connect.
But as I write all of this I’m now even more curious....
If this:
is a “double concave” slope as Peeron indicates, then does that mean that this:
is a “single concave” slope? ;)
I doubt it, but I don’t know the answer either.
Best regards,
