	There you have it! Your basic tower shape is completed! Read an excellent tutorial on [[Spiral_Staircases]] and you will be well on your way. This is kind of a rough tutorial to get you through the basic steps to create the tower walls, decoration might be covered later. One thing to note, since this is made of patches, you can’t make holes for windows, so windows should be func_static’s that are not meant to be see-through (there are plenty of premades, or you can create your own).

	Ignore this if you do not want to taper the tower near the top – Skip to [[Creating_a_Tower#Creating_inside_wall]]. Create another bounding box, much like the first, but smaller. Make sure it is perfectly square with the larger box and perfectly square overall. Using one of the side XYZ views, select the top 3 vertex and drag them to the side so that they can be more easily selected individually from the top view in a second. You might have to use 2 different side views to get them off the lower vertexes. Once you can select each one in turn, do the same thing you did for step 3, move top vertex to middle of smaller bounding box, bottom to middle of left smaller box and center vertex to corner of smaller bounding box. This should create a similar bevel to your first on the inside. At this point observe what it looks like from far away. '''You will note that the wall curves from the bottom to the top, this is because of the 3x3 nature of the patch. It has 3 vertexes in the middle that cause a curve. If you want a strait angle from top to bottom, select these 3 in a side view and drag them on top of the bottom vertexes. This will cause a sheer angle instead of a curve.'''

	Hit V to drag vertexes. Select the top most one and drag it to the exact middle of the top most side of your bounding box. NOTE: Be sure to shift click and drag over the vertex to get the two under the top one, otherwise you just get the top. The bottom vertices should be in the middle of the left most side of the square. Drag the middle vertexes into the corner of the bounding box. This should create a nice bevel. You will probably need to invert it so that it is visible from the outside instead of the inside (menu patch>matrix>invert) pieces.		Hit V to drag vertexes.

	This is much like the first steps. Create a box like your first, but smaller (if you tapered the top, make this one smaller than the box you created to do so). It needs to be square and square with your outside box. Size it to be realistic compared to how thick you want your walls to be. From the center of one side of the box to the center of the outside box will be how thick the walls will be. Repeat steps 2,3 and 5 and this time, don’t invert them (they should default be visible from the inside this time).		This is much like the first steps.
