Dear all, I was wondering how this could be done. I want to create cones on the surface of a sphere or arbitrary curved surfaces in Solid Edge, but I'm not sure how I could do this. Couldn't find anything relevant on YouTube. I tried the trim and extrude functions and all manner of sketches, but can't seem able to do it. I should point out that I want the cones to be arranged at equal distances from each other on this curved surface, rather than just randomly extruding. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
