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.

  1. Cylinder with a pyramid top

    A round tower with a pointed top has a fine tip that is easy to lose at small size. Print friendly adapts thin parts; printing slowly with good cooling helps the top hold its shape.

  2. One piece with the ground

    The Tour Part-Dieu is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.

  3. 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.

  4. Colors

    Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Tour Part-Dieu takes the building color.

  5. File format

    You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.

About the Tour Part-Dieu

The Tour Part-Dieu, formerly the Tour du Crédit Lyonnais, is a skyscraper in the La Part-Dieu district of Lyon, France. It stands 164.9 meters (541 ft) high and has 42 floors. The American firm Araldo Cossutta & Associates designed it, and construction ran from 1972 to 1977. When it opened in 1977, it ranked 4th among France's tallest buildings. The Lyonnese fondly call it Le Crayon ("The Pencil") because of its shape. It was officially renamed Tour Part-Dieu on September 22, 2008.

The tower is cylindrical, and a pyramid 23 meters high crowns it. The architect wanted the roof to match Notre Dame de Fourviere in height, roughly. The Radisson Blu Hotel Lyon takes the top 10 floors, and the other floors are offices. The hotel lobby is on the 32nd floor, reached directly from the ground floor by express elevators, and a restaurant there gives 360° views over Lyon.

Above the 32nd floor the hotel is hollowed out: the rooms ring a circular corridor around a central shaft that the roof pyramid lights. Each floor covers 1,115 square meters (12,000 sq ft), and the total area is 37,000 square meters (400,000 sq ft). The tower has 20 elevators supplied by Schindler, including two high-speed express elevators that travel at 5 m/s. Two underground floors provide 224 car spaces for parking.

About this model

The Tour Part-Dieu is one of more than 5,500 landmark models in Mini Skyline. They are made with AI, and each one is checked from four sides in its real surroundings before release. Each model is written as code from public descriptions, plans, photographs and aerial views used only as references; no image or third-party model is copied into it. Everything around it is built from OpenStreetMap and Overture map data. Rights in the building itself, its name and any brands on it are not granted by Mini Skyline; clear them separately before you sell prints. If you would rather print the shape from map data, turn off Landmark models in the Buildings settings.
