Thanks. Attachments: howdoicreatedomeceiling.JPG [ 239.4 KB | Viewed 116 times ]

Now select the middle row of vertices. Selection Scale X:2 Y:2 Z:1 This should produce some kind of pylon shape. Protip: You can select entire rows/cols of vertices by holding down SHIFT while clicking on them. _________________ Q3A Maps - by sst13 Quake Live Workshop

Bare in mind, patches create issues with bot navigation, so you are going to have to be able to botclip whatever shape you make. You absolutely can lower the centre control point (those little squares that you can select to drag your mesh, are actually control points, not vertices). The biggest problem is going to be texturing actually. Whatever texture you use is going to be warped. I would suggest you use a texture with very little detail, to hide the issue as much as possible. I actually do have a solution that I came up with for vaulted ceilings and domes, but it probably a bit too involved.
