Tiling a Spherical Roof : Here's the method used to create and tile a spherical roof , I just had to have at least one spherical roof on the layout. I used an old 3D solid modeling package on Windows XL to determine the diameter of each of the rings that form this dome. Dome rings were created using a digital vernier as a pair of dividers to not only mark, but also score a groove deep enough for a scalpel to follow when cutting out. Could have used the lathe, but didn't fancy the cold freezing temperatures of my workshop.
