What’s the math for 30 degree connection points?

[sixf00t4]

There’s got to be a simple rule that can tell me where I can make connections for these diagonal beams using cheese slopes.  There has to be a better way than just trial and error with plates and such.  Help?

 

im trying to make an M for a logo.  I attached a pic of the stud.io file and what I’ve got physically.

Probably not the answer your looking for but have you considered using some sort of "snot" construct or some hinge plates, to achieve the angles.

The rest is a quantization problem, which is the hard part. It's one of those things Studio should have a panel for perhaps...

Thanks!  was that *should* as in, you're not sure if there's one or not, or *should* as in perhaps someone should create a panel since you're sure there's not one?

Fullbrick hight 6

Cheese wedge 4 but only 3 sloping

Using SNOT

Normal + stud on side

Next 1 down normal with slimbrick

Then headlight brick

Down 1 HL+slim

down HL +2 slim

& Back again to normal

20 17 14 11 8 5

If height of cheese wedge = 1 then its slope = 2 & length = square root of 3 (3\5 power 2 = 9/25 = 2 short of 27 to = 3.

They = 1/2 of triangle with 3 = sides & angle, so if side = 2 then 1/2 a side = 1, & 1/2 of 60° = 30°.

See towering brick creations for how to do 1/2 slimbrick for cheese wedge, alternative normal & headlights + slim then 1×1's up to them.
