The Flip Panel, Glass Panel and Angled Panel in the Puzzle Maker.

The Flip Panel, Glass Panel and Angled Panel in-game.

The Angled Panel is a testing element in the Portal 2 Puzzle Creator. It is a panel attached to an arm that can be positioned on a wall and set at different angles. It can be controlled by other testing elements such as a Button or Laser Catcher. Unlike the Glass Panel, The Angled Panel can be made portalable or non-portalable. Angled Panels can be placed in goo (to make a retractable bridge for instance).
