What do you call the parts?

[Al Razi Masri]

Hi,

I was wondering if you could help me

I was trying to make a booklet on how to build a hexayurt. First I was hoping to use building and roofing terms but then I realised this might just make people more confused. e.g calling the ridge between two roof panels a "hip". That and as a public domain design It makes sense to have it named collaboratively.

What do you call the different part of the hexayurts?

I will also probably also edit appropedia to use the same names.

I will try not to name any of the parts to remove me own biases. 

1. The half pieces that join to make up a larger triangle for the roof BROWN
2. The larger triangle roof pieces GREY
3. The angle edges between the larger joined triangles ORANGE
4. The top of the hexayurt where all the roof pieces meet BLUE
5. The edges between two half sheet triangles RED
6. The edge between the roof and the wall GREEN
7. The edges between the walls YELLOW
8. The corner where 2 wall pieces and two roof pieces meet PURPLE
9. The edge between the floor and the hexayurt PINK
10. The roof when joined together but separate from the walls (shortly before lifting it on)
11. The walls when joined together but separate from the roof (shortly before lifting it on)

Thank you

Why reinvent the wheel. I think it would be better to use standard architectural building terminology, just define the terms for those unfamiliar with building trades. By making up your own terms everybody will have to remember your terminology and your booklet would lose credibility.

I don't see any harm in color coding the yurt components if you're describing how they fit together, but it would be helpful if you also specify the angles where sections meet.

Half panels. Panels are most frequently cut at the diagonal, so it's other cuts that get the funny names.

Just be consistent? "Roof triangle". Made of "half panels".

> The angle edges between the larger joined triangles ORANGE

"Roof angle"? The h13 has more than one type, and I'd think there's a standard for front & back.

The h13, btw, had kites and stuff. Julie Danger thought of that. (I thought of tight hinges, iirc.)

> The top of the hexayurt where all the roof pieces meet BLUE

Vertex? Top? Peak?

Tough one.

> The edge between the roof and the wall GREEN

Surely has a name. I don't even know it in Spanish. Things like fulcrum or other anatomical sounding words pop up.

> The edges between the walls YELLOW

Corner? Corner edge?

> The corner where 2 wall pieces and two roof pieces meet PURPLE

Nest? Cup? Upper cup? Making this up, obviously.

> The edge between the floor and the hexayurt PINK

Floor angle? There is a word for "angle between two planes". Ask @gelada?

Hat! :-P

> The walls when joined together but separate from the roof (shortly before lifting it on)

Wall ring?
