The point of a triangel is
always a little rounded
Note: the sharp point of a triangle is a notoriously fi ckle
"edge" to line things up with - it is always a little bit
rounded which makes it look shorter than the way the
parts actually fi t (the extended roof-line). Use the Dor-
mer Base to establish the width of the Dormer Fronts,
then glue on the triangle centered over them
