ThreadText: # Brick, Round Corner and/or Plate, Round Corner with Curved Cutout fitting radius of 88293 - Brick, Round Corner 3 x 3 x 2 Dome Top
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2023-05-28)
  
  I would like to build a rounded edge with [713 - Plate, Round Curved 4 x 8 Right](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=713#T=A) as base and the [88293 - Brick, Round Corner 3 x 3 x 2 Dome Top](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=88293#T=A) on top.
  
  Are there any rounded corner bricks or rounded corner plates (with curved cutout) that fits the radius of the 713 and 88293?
  
  Or is there a construction technique that closely matches the radius?

  To my knowledge there are no 3x3 macaroni bricks like you'd really like to be able to use here. There are [2x2](https://rebrickable.com/parts/3063b/brick-round-corner-2-x-2-macaroni-with-stud-notch/) and [4x4](https://rebrickable.com/parts/48092/brick-round-corner-4-x-4-macaroni-wide-with-3-studs/) macaroni bricks:

  A [3x3 plate](https://rebrickable.com/parts/68568/plate-round-corner-3-x-3-with-2-x-2-round-cutout/) exists, but it actually has an outer radius of 2 and a short straight segment:

  There are some parts that might be useful, depending on exactly what you are trying to accomplish. There is a [3x3 round window](https://rebrickable.com/parts/73878/window-round-3-x-3-x-2/) element that could be useful if you are willing to add glass from floor to ceiling:

  There is also a [half-circle panel](https://rebrickable.com/parts/87926/cylinder-half-3-x-6-x-6-with-1-x-2-cutout/) in this radius the could be useful:

  [3x3 wedge bricks](https://rebrickable.com/parts/2462/wedge-3-x-3-facet/) could be an option if you can compromise on having a truly round edge:
