There are times when I would like to build a sphere or a dome like this one:

enter image description here

From Small Lego Sphere Project

While this example is great, I find it difficult to scale it to another size, whether smaller or larger, without it...not looking roundish anymore.

Is there a tool available that can design a sphere or dome based on a size?

Here is my less popular but earlier Spheroid Generator




Output is LDRAW model format using 1x1 bricks and divided into step numbers.

Alternate approaches divide the sphere into facets for SNOT building; my program can't do that.

I could be persuaded to pick up the project again after 10 years...
