Answers.Text: Hey  Aziraphale!  'Sup. I was going by Random21's original image.  His bottom 1x4 plate isn't upside down.  It's positioned right-side up to connect the two opposing hinges. I know you'd asked him a question on the direction he wants the studs to face. I took it that he really wanted the 45 degree plates studs accessible, I'm not totally sure he wanted the sides studed up either, even though, I went ahead and did it.  He said he needed to attach greebling to the top of the outside face of the hallway.  I think I went overboard by attaching studs to all side except the bottom.

Title: Building technique for plate at near 45 degree angle

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-11-20)
  
  Trying to construct an octagon shaped hallway and trying to attach plates at a near 45 degree angle, but have no idea how to do this. Are there any techniques for attaching plates at a near 45 degree angle that are gapless. Maybe using the technic bent lift arm pieces?
  
  See photo below. Can't get the red brick to line up satisfactory.
