Don't do it this way. Use the H13 design instead. It's much better. http://www.google.com/search?q=H13%20hexayurt has lots of pictures and details!
Bevels: 1. wall-to-wall boards meet at 120 degrees 2. wall-to-roof boards meet at 120 degrees 3. roof-to-roof boards meet at 150 degrees Bevels are therefore 30 degrees on each board for the first two, and 15 for the third. I haven't calculated the angles for the H13's extended roof in Sketchup but it only takes a minute - there's a protractor tool that measures the angle between panels. Could somebody take a crack at that please? Dylan, is there an H13 model in the sketchup model repository? I haven't figured out the best way to do a Burning Man H13 yet, but I think it's a fairly linear extension of the standard hexayurt approach. Guy-and-anchor the 8' wall side *really* well, though - that *will* catch the wind. The H13 hexayurt was designed by Scott Davis and Dylan Toymaker and it's my recommended design for most purposes now. I love the symmetry and absolute purity of the original hexayurt, but the H13 doorway and interior space are much more liveable - for just one more 4x8 sheet. It's a *great* piece of work. The H13 hasn't been built at Burning Man yet, so there will be a learning curve, but I think it's the way to go!

I assume 2 feet on each side? Also, what angle do the edges for the same Hexayurt need to be beveled for the wall panels and the roof panels. Obviously the door side will be different, as I am more concerned about the other five sides. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
