How the generators work

BlockShape converts ideal geometric equations into occupied cells on a square grid. The result is a voxel-style approximation rather than a continuous curve.

Circles and ellipses

Each grid cell is compared with an ideal ellipse centered in the selected dimensions. Filled mode includes cells inside the curve. Outline mode extracts the outer boundary and can repeat that process to create a thicker wall.

Spheres and domes

A sphere is calculated in three dimensions. Every block position is tested against a radius, then grouped into horizontal slices. A dome uses the upper half of the same sphere model.

Cones

The cone generator reduces the radius at a constant rate from the base to the top. The resulting layers are centered on the same grid.

Block counts

Counts represent blocks included in the generated pattern. Scaffolding, temporary supports and decorative additions are not included.
