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

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

Glass Panels are a test element of Portal 2 that on activation will change from 0° to a specified angle such as 90?°. This element can be placed on the walls, ceiling, and the floor. It can only switch between 0°, and one other specified angle: either 30, 45, 60 or 90 degrees. Glass Panels can be placed in goo (to make a retractable bridge for instance).
