If you have a square building (equal length sides) that converge at line rather than a point, but it's not a central part of the feature would you call it pyramidal or hipped? This is not a satellite Is this a pyramidal or hipped roof? asked 06 Sep '22, 16:41  Evan Carroll |
artifact, we have a lot of these in the neighborhood.One Answer:
If there are convex edges from the corners that don't all meet at the same point then hipped. The exception to this would be if there appears to be a change in slope part way up which would make it mansard. See the illustrations here for a nice summary. answered 06 Sep '22, 19:47  InsertUser |
So not "pyramidal" just "pyramid"?
The linked page says pyramidal. But neither in this case.
As already suggested by InsertUser, this is "hipped".
Yes, it is hipped because it has a short horizontal section of ridge between the two hips.
