About Paramount Plaza
Once called the Uris Building and also known by its address, 1633 Broadway, Paramount Plaza is a 48-story skyscraper in New York City's Midtown Manhattan. The architects were Emery Roth and Sons, and the Uris brothers developed it. By 1980 the Paramount Group, a former owner, had lent its name to the building. Broadway runs along the east side of the site, with 51st Street on the north and 50th Street on the south. The roof is 669 ft (204 m) up.
The building has a slab-like form and climbs in a straight line from the street to its roof. Two Broadway theaters share the building: the Gershwin Theatre, with 1,900 seats, on the second floor, and, in the basement, the Circle in the Square Theatre, with 650 seats. A sunken plaza gives access to the 50th Street subway station, while a pedestrian corridor and a driveway pass beneath the western side.
In 1967 the Uris Buildings Corporation took a lease on the Capitol Theatre's site and put forward a plan for a skyscraper. In return for building the two theaters, the developer gained additional floor area, which meant four more stories than would usually have been allowed. Unlike many high-rises, the building kept a 13th floor and did not renumber it for superstitious reasons.
How it prints
Make this print opens the generator on a 600 m square around the landmark. Buildings print at close to true scale, so the landmark grows with the print size.

- A tall slab with fine lines
- The tower is a plain tall block with fine vertical lines on its walls. Printing slowly with good cooling suits a tall shape, and layers of 0.12 to 0.16 mm keep those lines crisp.
- Bigger print, more detail
- Dense buildings crowd the tower on every side. A larger print size keeps more of the small facade detail, and Full detail suits larger prints or a fine nozzle.
- One piece with the ground
- Paramount Plaza is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. Paramount Plaza takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
