Holes in a sphere
Holes in a sphere
(OP)
I want to make holes at different angles in a sphere. I can not give the dimensions from reference point to locate the holes. Does some one have an idea of how to locate the holes on a sphere.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Holes in a sphere
Are you making the holes normal to the sphere surface (hole axis goes through sphere center)? Or are the holes skewed (not through center)? Also, is the sphere hollow?
If you are making the hole through the center, perhaps start with a 3D sketch. In the 3D sketch, sketch a line with one end constrained to the sphere center and the other end coincident with the sphere surface. Dimension the line angles (latitude and longitude) with respect to reference planes or other sketched lines that go through the sphere center to control angle parameters.
Once the sketch line is made, use it to create a plane on the sphere surface using the plane option "Normal to curve", and sketch your hole on that plane.
