My brain has just frozen.
For a hexagon with each side measuring 1500, what would be the 'across flats' dimension?
I know its pie fag er indoors, but I can't get my head around it - I blame a long day in the sun.
Apply alcohol.
1299.04Is is decking?
Can I have a prize?

That's half the value
Ahem.
... x 2 = 2598.
Bums.
Dead right! Why people want hexagonal decks is beyond me :-)
Only prize I have is a TMH fridge magnet - any good?

Never mind. I was trying to cut coving with a mitre block today. Turned 1m into powder trying to work out which way to cut the bloody stuff for an internal bend. 3D problems mess my head up good.
I'd got that far all by myself. Then my brain froze.
It would be trivial if could remember it all. Should have spent more time listening in class & less time passing notes to Julie Tolson...

Half-hex would make sense, on the back of a house.
Is it an island in the garden - or connected to said house?
Debbie Harry and a bushel of whipped cream out of the question then? But we like magnets too.
You should get a few made up with neodynium magnets as a joke item - see if the recipient can ever pull it off the fridge again.
You're name and number would remain with the customer, never lost.
And we could get into a whole world of angle grinder skits :)

Hope she was worth it...
Right down the bottom of the garden. To house a hexagonal pergola.
I thought I was the only one with that fantasy?
I'll pop one in the post. If I knew your address.
That was the concept in the first place. And it works.
As if we need help :-)
30 years on, you might want to stick with just the whipped cream actually :-(
What about whipped cream and Julia Bradbury aka Walking Man's totty.
Not as accurate as calculating, but a simple vector drawing prog should give you the answer - Draw on this old Acorn did it in seconds.
She don't look bad for 64.
That reminds me! Dave, or anyone who knows !Draw, have you ever seen a decent Windoze equivalent?
Of course you could buy Virtual RPC which allows you run pretty well any RISC OS prog on a PC - think there's a free version too.

Blimey. A blast from the past. !Draw was great, wasn't it?
Inkscape is about the best current replacement, although it's never felt as natural to me.
Google Sketchup is worth investigating as well.
Ta, I shall give it a bash.
Hah, can beat that - I've got my old A3000 in the garage (having been evicted from my mum's house where its spent many a long year) if I had space to set it up!
