Proposal 1: if we say that the Hn represents the minimum number of material sheets to make the base model in that design, then the compact notation Hn+m can represent additional sheets of material to increase wall height.
Examples: H12: the canonical hexayurt (12 sheets) H12+3: hexayurt with 6' tall walls (15 sheets total) H12+6: a hexayurt with 8' walls (18 sheets total) H7: a stretch hexayurt (7 sheets total) H13: http://www.appropedia.org/Hexayurt_H13 (13 sheets total) H13+3: an H13 with 6' walls. Proposal 2: Same definition of Hn as above. Instead of focusing on material usage, let's tell people how tall the beast is. H12: the canonical hexayurt 10' H12: a hexayurt with 6' tall walls 12' H12: a hexayurt with 8' tall walls 10' H13: an h13 with 6' tall walls. Pragmatically, using "Hn" instead of "HYn" is preferable for two reasons: it's already in use and Google searches for "hexayurt h13" already work. -Joshua PS This assumes that providing both the wall height and center height is redundant. Can't we derive one from the other? PPS I'm explicitly not using n to represent the number of walls. That's already indicated by the name: a hexayurt has six walls, a pentayurt five, and below, that would be an octoyurt and a nonayurt, I think. I believe the non-six sided shapes are rare and therefore don't need a shorthand notation at this time. PPPS I'm also not using n to represent the number of faces. A stretch hexayurt would then be an h10 instead of an h7. Someone else can argue in favor of that if you're so inclined.
