Seeing as my MD, Elytheria Novo is situated in Mozambique, I was wondering if someone would take the time to look into the possibility of creating Rondawels (singular: Rondawel).

Quote"Rondawel" is the name commonly given to a circular dwelling with a conical thatch roof, which is present in most parts of rural southern Africa. It was probably derived from Dutch roots, "rond" meaning round or circular.

They come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, but I would really just like a plain, off-white or white, one. :) Much like this one:



Or even one like this:

So, if you'd be so kind as to look into this, maybe an aggregation of the various types, sizes, etc. would be nice. :)

Thanks,

Thanks Colyn! I actually have been trying in the BAT, but I am really useless at it. My rectangluar and flat windows and doors do not line up with the conical walls. lol  &mmm

I will take a look in the LE, thanks. (Although at the moment it doesn't work for me...  >:()

It looks simple enough (in the BAT) and it is really basic actually, but I just don't know what all that jargon means, and I have tried to do basic BATs (having read tutorials, etc.) but some BAT, and others, like me, don't.
