Marking on a sphere dome

Hi all 

 

I need to make a marking on a sphere dome. I'd like to use the sketch text feature but I can't project it onto the surface of the dome, like I do for a cylinder. 

 

Does anyone have an idea?

 

Thank you 

 

See you soon.

Hello

Can a transfer on a sphere do the trick?

Hi Bastien

See this tutorial

Otherwise, with the winding function:

Or with a smoothing:

@ Lucas the winding function only works on cylinders or curved surfaces

but not on spherical surfaces

by creating an offset plane, a sketch on that plane, the text on the sketch/boss, extrude on the surface

Here is an example by projection

See attached file

 

I arrived after the war, the time to make an example GT22 made one as well

@ jfaradon ;-)

it's often the problem of the response time

and the subject has already been dealt with

Between the time it takes to receive the message and the credit on the FOFO

Thank you for your answers! 

 

The gt22 one is enough to solve my problem. Thanks again, I'm always amazed at the speed at which problems are solved on this forum ^^. 

 

Have a nice day
