It's just in the planning stages right now, though.

How I have it planned is 10 Z-levels of tower, then five levels of "disc" and three levels of "point."

The middle will have kitchens and dining rooms (since there's a restaurant in the real Space Needle) as well as little rooms going up the outside.

It's primarily quartzite, with a little marble here and there and microcline when I need to get rid of it.

Discuss?

 Hmm...

 Mind you it won't look terribly impressive in a 3D viewing program. I would advise having, say, 20 z-levels of tower for the 5 levels of restaurant. Won't look quite as odd.

 Also, be sure to bring glass. Ain't the space needle unless you can see out of it.

 Actually, I don't think anybody has made a tower with all-window sides. That would be interesting to see.

Glass walls would probably suffice.

 But we have seen quite a few glass wall fortresses. Isn't impressive anymore. Windows, not quite as used.

I'd make it taller, but the area I'm working from has only sixteen levels of sky.

I suspect I'll do it again somewhere else on a larger scale once I've proven I can do it.

Don't forget the super structure in the tower; it's a lot more than just a wall. Maybe add a gift shop too? I'm sure some dwarves would like a +Bronze Scepter+ on their visit. A garden at the bottom would be nice too.

Post screenshots when its done.  Preferably a couple from 3dwarf too. 

And best of luck making it.

I can't use 3dwarf successfully. I only get a small amount of my map, and it makes my computer slow down to an insane degree for no apparent reason.

Download the tutorial video. The reason you can only see a 'small part' of the map is because you probably haven't adjusted the max viewing distance. There are two buttons that extend and retract viewing distance. You can also set a default in 3Dwarfs prefs file.

There are also other options (such as not showing hidden features) under the... F1 screen that will improve framerate if you turn them off.

You could dig out a big pit so that you had a 30 Z level tower going up and down...

You could use this guy's worldgen seed.
