Answers.Text: Thanks for all your help folks. I've managed to build a rought prototype of the apex of the roof and I think I understand how the technix connectors work.  Can anyone explain how the 1x1 round lbg rounds are held in place?

Answers.Text: Starting at the top, there's 2 1x1round bricks, then a modified plate (as @Alex showed in red) which is actually attached to the big flat plate, then 4 more 1x1 round bricks (then a 1x1 round plate at the lowest point). It doesn't seem super-sturdy to me, but I think it'll hold. You could always put length-4 rods (lightsaber blades) inside to make it much stronger.

  I'm interested in making something like the [Western General Store](https://ideas.lego.com/projects/474d637e-3e4f-4472-9d99-4f2a228c7308). Can anyone explain how they got the slanted windows boards like that? Also, the roof seems to use some sort of cylindrical T-brick at the apex (in the 2nd picture). Can anyone identify that piece please.

  Here's an example of how walls have been built. If you look closely on original pictures you can also see [2 x 2 top hinge piece](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6134) (marked in Yellow here) used for attaching it on the bottom.

  * [32013](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32013) - Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #1
  * [62462](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=62462) - Technic, Pin Connector Round 2L with Slot (Pin Joiner Round)

  The slats seem to be 1x4 tiles on a base of overlapping 2x4 plates. It's easier to see from the inside.

  The roof T-pieces are **32013** [Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Angled #1](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=32013) resting on a **4623b** [Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Bar Arm Up (Horizontal Arm 5mm)](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=4623b).
