    Hi, JohnM1!

    Are you wanting to build one, or just wanting general information, please?

    If you're wanting general information about the construction of Chinese Pagodas, quite a bit of information as to construction, history, styles, meaning, etc. can be found on the following sites.

    Chinese pagoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Development of Pagodas

    The Cultural Heritage of China :: The Arts :: Architecture :: Pagodas

    I hope that you'll find some information on the sites that's helpful to you!

    Thanks!

    Thanks Clough, I'm trying to design one, make a model and possibly build one. Just having trouble with the dougongs, puzuos, corbel structure and how to develop that beautiful upward curved overhanging roof. There's a couple of models of dougongs on SketchUp 3D warehouse. I need more stuff like that.
    Kind regards
    JohnM
