Not yet perfect but....
PS Another idea..
if resulting forms are deformed just draw the start forms with the "opposite" forms! ;)

My 2 cents.
MoI is not the easiest way to create this volume from scratch.
I think the easiest way is to use a software with a constraint resolver.
MoI don't have such feature.
You create pentagons and hexagons using same edge length.
Next, you add constraints to force your edges (or points) to be joined.

Hi Pilou & Booleano - it isn't possible to apply a flat 2D plane onto a sphere without stretching or compression.
It's just a fundamental fact of geometry.
That's why Flow is not going to be the right tool for doing that.
Again, the technique that can be used for modeling a polyhedral shape is to draw polygons that have shared edges and then use Transform > Rotate > "Rotate axis" to pivot the polygons upward around the shared edge.
This is described and demonstrated in these previous posts:

Hi Phiro,
re:

A constraint solver isn't needed - you can just draw 2 vertically oriented circles that then intersect at the needed point for rotate axis to snap on to.

Yep but as adventure game that is perfect from time to time! :)
I don't desesperate to find a solution! :)

Another strategy...
Make a sphere from Subdivision! :)
It's winning for Flow if exists a geometric division by 6 surfaces of the soccer ball!
PS Trivial question...
Why the subdivision surface still stay in 6 separate faces and not redone a normal sphere when join or union?

Hi Pilou,
re:
> Why the subdivision surface still stay in 6 separate faces and not redone a normal sphere when join or union?
The subdivision surface sphere is not quite exactly spherical.
Since it is not an exact match for a sphere there isn't any mechanism to try and convert it into an exact sphere.
If you want an exact sphere, you can make one with the Draw solid > Sphere command, instead of using SubD conversion.

Hi Booleano,
Could you tell what u want to do? What do u mean by "resolve this file" ?

Hi Phiro,
but I think MOI is the easiest way to create this volume! :-)
