So far here's how my instructional is labelled. I had the same issue with "roof hip" not being universal enough (although correct!)  I'll attach a pdf for reference.

1. The half pieces that join to make up a larger triangle for the roof *
BROWN*

"right triangles"

2. The larger triangle roof pieces *GREY*

"Isoceles triangles"

3. The angle edges between the larger joined triangles *ORANGE*

hypoteneuses

4. The top of the hexayurt where all the roof pieces meet *BLUE*

5. The edges between two half sheet triangles *RED*

This I call the "leg" of the right triangle....also could be the 8' leg. it's the longer of the two sides that isn't the hypoteneuse. 

6. The edge between the roof and the wall *GREEN*

Formed by two bases or 4' bases

7. The edges between the walls *YELLOW*

Huh I don't name these either. They're.....corner joints?

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)

"roof cone" : that's an oldschool term that sticks.

11. The walls when joined together but separate from the
roof (shortly before lifting it on)
The "walls?"

Ooh! Dihedral! That's fancy. I like it!

Although if people can handle "dihedral" they can probably also handle "roof hip."

Interestingly, I've never really had to describe the dihedral part. It's the easy part of the process where you "plop the roof on the walls and do the tape ring."

Hi all, 

Thanks for the suggestions thus far. For context I usually think in the context of the plywood hexayurt as opposed to the foam board.

I agree with not reinventing the wheel. But how to balance technical accuracy, whether that be architectural, or geometric, with accessibility for the lay person. Given the humanitarian aims of the hexayurt project it might have to be very simple names. That's why I am thinking of clarity above brevity. 

I may be overcomplicating this, perhaps ignore sections that people don't regularly refer to and use a simple/technical format for some parts. 

Here were my thoughts

• The half pieces that join to make up a larger triangle for the roof BROWN

Small Triangles

• The larger triangle roof pieces GREY

Large Triangles

• The angle edges between the larger joined triangles ORANGE
  

Roof ridge/Hip (even though ridges in building terms are horizontal)

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

Peak

• The edges between two half sheet triangles RED

Large traingle seam

• The edge between the roof and the wall GREEN

Rim

• The edges between the walls YELLOW

Trying to avoid the name corner since it is technically an edge. Wall seams?

 

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

Upper Corners

• The edge between the floor and the hexayurt PINK

Floor edge

 

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

Roof Cone

 

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

The Walls

Thanks again.

Dihedral is any angle formed by the intersection of two non-parallel planes. Yes, the term roof hip is correct on the roof. However, dihedral also covers the angle from the roof to the wall.
