Need Help Projecting Dimple Pattern on Non-Sketchable Revolved Surface in Fusion 360

I am currently working on a project in Fusion 360, and I'm facing a challenge in creating a dimple pattern on a revolved surface. The specific issue is that the surface isn't directly sketchable.
I have attached the Fusion 360 project file for reference, as well as the effect I'm trying to achieve.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could guide me on how to project a dimple pattern onto this non-sketchable revolved surface. Any insights or alternative approaches would be very helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

On the cylindrical surface that might should be easy. The question is how do you want the dimples to be distributed on the  toroidal/ curved  surface?

Perhaps an staggered pair of these Patterns on paths?

 

Will you 3D print?dimples.jpg

Yes I'm planning on 3D printing, it's a prototype. Can you walk me through your process? Thanks!

An incomplete job at this stage but I won't get back to it today
