Hi Michael....

> MoI does not currently have an array command to replicate an object across a curved surface.

Yes I know, but I want to try with existing features :)

One thing that you could try - get some curves below your surface:



Use Construct / Curve / Project to project them on to the surface:



Draw a sphere at the end:



Use Transform/Array/Curve to replicate it:

I think you will see that this first approach needs a bit of finessing, BUT, I think the approach is right.

Hooray for Arrays!

PM me if you want the 3dm file.

Thanks Sir, I will try and post the progress later.... ;)

I know its still far from perfect, but at least this method is working.

Thanks

Variations on the original theme.

More variations--can not get to sleep so just fidling with various ideas for fun.

Used the projection of a spiral for the Array path.
