The idea of this comes from one problem and some functionality found in SW Plastics

Problem: How to model a golf ball in SW (my original solution required using excel and point cloud since I needed to use spherical coordinates).

If we could use functionality similar to the gate placements in SW Plastics, you could easily create a mesh on the surface for placement of points similar to how this program accomplishes golf ball creation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEAp9NbEYFc

Furthermore, it would be nice for situations where you don't want to create sketch geometry but want to use the geometry (i.e. 3dSketch points on a cylinder).
