The '''Spiral Tower''' tool builds a whole climbable tower in one drag: a round wall (the shell), a spiral staircase whose treads sit flush against the inside of it, and solid floor slabs that are open only over the walkway. The underside of each slab steps with the stairs, so you clear it on the way up, and the stairwell is the way onto the platform at the top.

== Drawing a tower ==
# Pick '''Spiral Tower''' on the toolbar.
# Press and drag to set the tower's footprint.
# Let go and drag up for its height. Click to finish.

While drawing:
* {{Key|Scroll wheel}}: the number of sides.
* {{Key|Ctrl}}+{{Key|Scroll wheel}}: the step height.
* {{Key|Ctrl}}+{{Key|Shift}}+{{Key|Scroll wheel}}: the wall thickness.

{{Property table start}}
{{Property row|name=Sides|type=3 to 64|default=16|desc=''Shell.'' Wall facets per full turn. Treads and floor slabs are cut on the same divisions, so this is the one number the whole tower lines up with.}}
{{Property row|name=Wall Thickness|type=Metres|default=0.5|desc=''Shell.'' 0 builds the staircase and its floors with no wall.}}
{{Property row|name=Step Height|type=Metres|default=0.4|desc=''Stairs.'' Keep under the player's step height (0.457) or the stairs cannot be climbed.}}
{{Property row|name=Facets per Step|type=1 to 16|default=1|desc=''Stairs.'' How many wall facets each tread spans. Raise it for fewer, deeper steps per turn. Capped at a quarter of Sides.}}
{{Property row|name=Walkway Width|type=Metres|default=1.5|desc=''Stairs.'' How deep the treads are, measured inward from the shell. At or past the inner radius the treads reach the middle and the spiral becomes a solid ramp.}}

{{Property row|name=Direction|type=List|default=Counter-clockwise|desc=''Stairs.'' Counter-clockwise or Clockwise, seen from above.}}

{{Property row|name=Head Clearance|type=Metres|default=2.0|desc=''Floors.'' The headroom a climber needs under a slab; this sizes the stairwell opening. A standing player is 1.829 m tall.}}
{{Property row|name=Door Width (facets)|type=0 to 16|default=0|desc=''Doorway.'' A doorway at the foot of the stairs, this many facets wide. 0 builds none.}}
