hi again
I have run into trouble when trying to thicken my spherical sheet I modelled. It says cannot apply thicken, and I don't understand why. I want to thicken the sheet by 0.8mm to create a web within a web effect. Is it failing to thicken because of the complexity?
Any help would be...
I have managed to create two concepts now thanks to your help. Here they are:

scrap that, I got carried away, it's all there in the video. This video is really great by the way, you should upload it somewhere so that when more people like me struggle with something similar they can find it
This worked a treat!! Have exactly what I was looking for now, thank you so much! Have definitely learnt something new that will prove useful time and time again. My only issue is that now I have the shape I want but it has no thickness. How do I add a thickness to the created model of say...
Hi khimani
Thanks for the reply! These steps sound so simple and straight forward and yet I can't seem to get my head around it. I'm quickly realising how limited my NX knowledge is. Are there any tutorials that would show me the basic steps to do these things so I can apply them to do what I...
Hi thanks for the reply!
I used splines in my undergraduate to create complex curves. I think this was probably in a limited way though. I have just used the curve on surface tool to create a rough shape on the surface of a shelled sphere. When I tried to extrude the spline I created it didn't...
Hi,
Firstly, thanks for the reply! This example is impressive and I can see how you've achieved this. It seems a lot of the advice I'm finding online is to do with wrapping a curve (sketch) to a cylinder first.
What I am trying to achieve is not uniform though and so couldn't be patterned...
I want to create a sphere with a very freeform structure, with the same sort of pattern as in this 3D printed cast:

I am using siemens nx 9 and have tried creating a sphere and a sketch with the pattern I want mapped over the sphere so I can...
