The footprint dimensions and the picture together ought to tell anyone what they need to know. There needs to be an indicator of the piece "slope" degree, even if not accurate, but it serves to know which ones share the same angle.    In Catalog, patpendlego writes:    I always assumed the 45 in Slope 45 means 45 degrees, and in Slope 33 it means 33 degrees, however if you calculate the exact degrees based on brick measures it is not. A standard 1 x 1 brick measures 7.9375 mm x 9.5250 mm (length/width x height without the stud). Building with Slope 45 bricks results in a slope of 50 degrees, not 45. Building with Slope 33 bricks results in a slope of 31 degrees, not 33. As is well know, assumptions are the mother of all f*ups, so I most likely assumed wrong Therefore... just curious, where do the 45 and 33 come from?   *  3040 Slope 45 2 x 1 Parts: Slope   *  4286 Slope 33 3 x 1 Parts: Slope

[...] IMO there does not... Slope 2 x 1 or Slope 3 x 1 says it all. No confusion about the 45 or 33 (which is incorrect anyway). [...] (29 months ago, Jan 1, 2022, to Catalog)
