This is where I've got to after an annoying 2 hours of tweaking:




Lardarse: thanks for your detailed reply - I didn't understand all of it (my problem not yours!) I'm not so precise, I do most of it 'by eye'

I see what you mean re: repetition, but it's less actually repetitive than it looks. I'm fairly happy with it, I may try to improve, but first I'll finish the rest of the building and see what it looks like - if it glares out to me I may spend some more time - I always like to balance frustratingly impossible attempts at perfection with feelings of success due to actually finishing something.

Doing curves "by eye" is risky.

I made a spreadsheet that works out where the points on cuves should be: http://pineapple.servegame.com/circle_room.ods

It assumes that you're making a circle (although you can use just the first part to make a half or quarter circle as needed). C2 should have the number of sides for the complete circle (which would usually be a multiple of 4), and C3 is the radius of the circle. The co-ordinates it gives from row 13 downwards (the stuff in between is the mathematics involved) are relative to the centre of the circle.
