Nodules on a curved surface

[stormloader]

Hello everyone,

How can i pattern nodules (small pads) on a curved surface. Creating one nodule is not a problem but if i go with user pattern (i have points where pads need to be) all nodule top flat surfaces end up parallel and i need each one to be normal to the curved surface where points are...
Is there some way I can do this other then going one by one? (need more then 350 pads)

thanks

check knowledge pattern example in DMU Product Knowledge Temmplate workbench documentation, this is what you're asking for.
