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.
