Will changing the relative proportions of the sample square work to change the end result of the squished sphere?


...Okay Marc... the way I've figured it is that the distance span on that that sphere is (Diameter x Pi) for the distance from the BRep line around the equator of the sphere back to the BRep line. And the distance from one pole to the other, at the ends of the BRep line on the sphere is (Diameter x Pi) / 2. A 2 to 1 ratio.

If the Flow command is "fitting" the sample object to the sphere's surface using the sample square as the template, then the smaller sphere will be stretched 2 to 1... You need to scale the sample square horizontally by 2.

Am I correct?
