Hi Brian ( bemfarmer ),

Tried your wonderful new script, circle arrayed result, and lofted adjacent spirals; got a threaded sphere.
How did you keep your surfaces on the sphere and avoid the threading?





Thanks for another great contribution!

Thanks everyone.

The spirals can be used to trim a Sphere of the same radius, rather than use loft.

Array of a point along a spiral curve makes relatively "equidistant" points, more or less.

Creating multiple spirals can be done with Circular array, or Rotate, or run the script multiple times with different start angles.

Hi Brian,

i just want to let you know that your script came in very handy for me in a real project, which will be 3D printed!

Thanks again for this very nice script!

Regards
Stefan
