      Does the trick. And has been doing so since 2008.

      You know how much time you could have saved me if you were paying more attention to my problems?

      Perhaps I should pay better attention...

      Thank you very much, Gilles.

          Sure, but it's also a good thing to ( try to ) understand how things are made. πŸ’š

            I had not seen that plugin. Would have saved me some time ... a while ago ... doh!

                  Perfect only from a distance. I wish there were a draw non-radial tri- and quad- mesh plugin, with face size/number/density settings.

                    The left image in the first image is the typical SketchUp sphere construction (I call it 'radial'), the right image is what I'm looking for (I call it 'non-radial').

                      Hmm.... That plugin extends quite a few of the base SketchUp classes. Risky stuff.

                          I got it for a while and have no problem at this time.Of course it may be not aesthetic code, but it does the job.
                          I know nothing about coding and I enjoy your plugins. πŸ‘

                              You should find Create geodesic in the plugin menu.

                                  I've a tweaked version that avoids all base class messing on... If anyone wants a copy PM me...
