The base model is the same as my previous post. I wanted to model the sculpture of Magnus Wenninger "Order in Chaos".
it required a little interaction (no visual scripting). basically I chose the triangle of the icoasehdron that will be projected to the sphere
1. get the faces and split them into frequency 16 (it can be a driving parameter to refine the model) -> in attached model Nb.2 =15
you get 20 X 256 small triangles
2. chose the triangles to keep
for this, I made a sketch on top of a face of the base polyhedron.
select 1 base face and make a sketch (in Sketcher app) with points on top of the small triangles you want to keep. the sketch base must be isolated in order to avoid model looping update issue.
then using "laying on", it is like picking the triangles that are "touched" by the sketch points
some pictures and the 3dxml is at the bottom
and DS R&D rocks
