This is a quick tutorial to demonstrate how to create the new angles allowed by FS 2.0. A = 1:3 B = 1:4 C = 1:6 D = 1:8 E = 2:3 To create the angles, you have to use the new composite feature. Each letter shows the bricks at the top needed to create the angle piece beneath it. Except for the 2:3, the two middle columns make the angle pieces necessary for the middle part of the 2:3. I will post some screenshots and better explanations tomorrow. I added single dots to the other caps to make sure this font showed up for everyone...I couldn't remember what the minimum number of characters is.

Hehe. Beat me to it. I had a tutorial with some additional techniques as well. I think I'll post it as an alternative method. This is a good start to get people acclimated to the new 2.0 angles. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for this :) I have been (slowly) working my way towards a few new angles - but this helps no end.

@genius1 - Do post your tutorial - everything helps those (like me) with fewer brain cells.

@geneus1 Yes, please post yours too!

@p2pnut Glad I could help. :)

Below is a crappy animated .GIF "movie" showing the steps to make a new angle.

It's 8 frames long and each frame is shown for about 5 seconds. There is a "The End" frame so you can easily tell when you've seen it all. It should loop automatically.
