Building Curves

I am in the midst of building a walkable labyrinth. (A labyrinth is like a maze, but there are no deadends. It is an ancient meditation tool. The pic attached is of the Chartres labyrinth, the form I am using.)
I have the pattern set on the ground, but am now trying to build short walls to keep people on the right path. The inner circle is 10x10, so my question is, is there an EASY way to make the outer archs? What I've tried so far works (sort of) but is very slow and tedious.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Neat project, Hildeguard. I have a scripted tool which can make large rings which might be helpful. I'll drop one on your inventory. I might also be interested in helping out myself. I've been to Chartres, so I'm kind of intrigued. Where are you building your labyrinth? Will it stand on its own or will it be a part of something? If you don't mind me being curious :)

EDIT - Well no need to answer me here since we talked in-world :)

I just want to add (again) that these tools are the BEST.
Almost everything i have built so far would be impossible without them.

Thanks again Cadroe :)

Cadroe's tools are great, both as tools or toys :D

Yeah, never underestimate the fun factor of rezzing a 200-meter sphere in the sandbox. Fun for the entire family!

sounds interesting

Sounds like this tool is the end all, say all in building large stuff. :) I agree where and how much to get one?

I dropped the ShapeMaker on you folks' inventories. If anyone else is looking for the tool(s) they are available at Ohno(60,100) for $1. Have fun.

Thanks very much for that. I look forward to messing around with it once the server is back up and running properly. Shall also be paying Ohno a visit to see what else I can pick up.
