And I've gotta note that we've seen them built in plywood, but not polyiso yet. Certain amount of trial and error to be expected, particularly in the "construction coreography" and placement of the tape anchors.
A lot to be said for a good model with tape and pins in a board for tent stakes.

Evert triangle is a 4x8 panel cut from corner to corner. Q: Are the base walls 6' tall? A: No. The base walls, as shown, are 4'. Q: What's the deal with bracing the roof? A: The roof isn't braced; although you'll need to add rope anchoring. Q: How do I attach the roof [to the walls]? A: If you use polyiso insulation boards, then you'll want to use the recommended 6" wide bidirectional filament tape. You'll also use it at every single seam. Q: What's the reality? A: It's the same as the regular hexayurt with one tall side. The tall side lets you use a full-height door instead of a 3' dog door.
