I found those elements to be difficult to label. I’m not sure ‘bevel’ is
perfect, but then neither is wedge. ;)

Yes, exactly.

Actually, it seems like a very good term for slope bricks.

I think slope bricks are actually well-named and are one of the major
categories of elements that everyone can seem to more-or-less agree upon.

I wasn’t seriously suggesting we try to rename slopes. But bevel would be so

guess I would tend to talk about the “slope” of a roof and sice those pieces
are sometimes also called “roof bricks” then I guess slope works pretty well.
Of course, some people would talk about the “pitch” of the roof, so I wonder
why they never ended up being called “pitch bricks”. :)

We shoulda just stuck with “Roof tile” -- to be extra confusing.

My favorite part name is ‘bearclaw’.

Hmmmmmm...... I don’t know that one. But I’ll take a guess. Is it this:

Ooo. Good guess. But it was actually this part:
 Part 4275
Maybe 4085 could be “dog paw” or something...
I heard about this name years ago, when a person whose name I do not recall ran
a “Name that Brick” monthly contest. I always liked the fanciful names better
than the descripitive names...
