Choose an odd diameter when you want one exact center block, or an even diameter when the center should be a two-by-two gap. Enter that diameter in the generator and keep the center guides visible.\n\n## Mark the axes first\n\nPlace temporary blocks at the top, bottom, left, and right extremes. Then mark both center lines.

Do not try to judge the curve by eye at ground level; count each straight run.\n\n## Check symmetry before filling\n\nView the outline from above or from a scaffold. Every run on one side should have a matching run on the opposite side. Correcting a one-block drift now is faster than fixing a completed wall.\n\n## Raise or fill the structure\n\nFor a tower, repeat the verified footprint upward. For a floor, switch the generator to Filled and place each row from the center outward.
