Trying to project squares on a 1/8 sphere
(OP)
trying to calculate how many of these 2X2 squares I can fit on this 1/8 sphere...these squares are going to hold pcb boards with LEDS want to keep them normal to the surface....Please advise...having a hard time placing the squares on there ....missing a step in wrap-sketch..please help..see attachment

Unfortunately, we are all running ST3 right now as we get ready to release so I can't post a video or file. However, the process was this:
1.) Create the first 2x2 square tangent to the surface (easiest to pick a reference play in one of the common planes.
2.) Pattern the square to give you one column of bricks going top to bottom. along the edge.
3.) For each row, pattern the bricks. So, for the bottom 3, you might use the same pattern. For the 4th and 5th brick up, the same pattern, and so on until you get to the top.
I hope this helps,
Mark
