POCKET951 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Problem I am trying to solve: Spoiler is there any way I can have a perfectly triangular interior/exterior roof? I have tried with all the 60 degree inclines/blocks/gables and I haven't found any that work. maybe because the solution block doesn't have 60 in it and I need to look at all the wedges? outside view: Spoiler based on the research and architecture I have looked at so far, the block I am looking for doesn't exist. But I have been wrong in the past. oh and one random question, is there a preferred etiquette for posting images on forums? I can't be bothered with uploading images to an external site and posting an imgur. It seems like alot of unnecessary effort. I totally understand paste-binning logs for bug reports but I think where appropriate it is acceptable to hide images with spoilers Edited March 5, 2022 by POCKET951 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still kinda new with building but funny enough roofs was the first and only thing i've messed with I only used two block types, the standard ramp, and the standard cube shape. I upgraded random blocks so you could kinda see how all the pieces fit outside: Spoiler inside: Spoiler Granted the inside will technically be slight smaller than what it seems from outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POCKET951 Posted March 5, 2022 Author Share Posted March 5, 2022 I am using the wedge slope 60 blocks, and this roof took me an hour or 2 to figure out which blocks to use and where. In every odd block roofed PoI I checked the top row was always half blocks with gables ontop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POCKET951 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) so what I want is achievable, but only if the roof dimensions are even length wise. Spoiler we would need to make a 1x1 version of this block maybe? Spoiler alternativeley we would need a cube 1/2 inverted gable corner that would also have a built in filler slope triangle that would taper off towards center of the inverted part. Idk if anyone can visualize that or understand what I am trying to explain Spoiler l think it would look like the block picture below, but you would make a cutout from the other side of the block to the front so it looks full at the back but would be hollow at the front. Note: I am using a 1/2 gable to help visualize the cut out hollow section at the front Spoiler Edited March 6, 2022 by POCKET951 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could call it Cube 1/2 gable inverted quarter End or Cube 1/2 gable inverted quarter slope filler? Idk how you name blocks but I have a visual of the space the modifcations to the block would need to cover. For more visual clarity: Purple concrete blocks: wedge 60 incline corner Red: Wedge 60 incline Purple: Cube 1/2 gable invertered quarter Edited March 9, 2022 by POCKET951 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotor Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Could name it something catchy: Tetris (taken) Tetas Cube (spanish wordplay) Teats Cube (since is only good for one thing) Etc. /@%$#edatthegameatthemoment Edited March 6, 2022 by Rotor (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POCKET951 Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 @Roland Could you please see if the people responsible for adding blocks would be willing to make/add a Cube 1/2 gable invertered quarter with a tetrahedon that would fill this painted area marked out by MS paint lines: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
