Scallop edge along the top of shell

[Williamsdavid]

I'm trying to recreate this.  What would be the best way to go about this?  if possible break it down into two steps. 

Step one is the top scallop design, even on the corners

Step two is the dots flowing around the corners and on the sides.

I can do some of this by making a pattern along a path but just does not turn out like in the picture.  Maybe that is the best one can get?

Looking for new ideals with my limited experience.

Thanks for any and all help.

This is a basic rough sketch.  But very similar to what I ran into.  I did create one I liked by just doing the arc on each side one at a time and skipping the corners.

This isn't exactly like the object in your post, but it's getting somewhat close.

There is a glaring red icon in the timeline. Eliminating that just requires more work that i don't have the time for. atm.

I like your box with scalloped edges and bumps.  You simply overlooked the "optimized" option on the pattern showing the red error.

Thank you for this, i learned a few things for sure.   Never dreamed about unfolding the side like that.  I i love the way you made a sphere.

The optimized option worked great,  is there a time you would use or not use this feature?

I will let you read about Pattern Compute Type in the Fusion Help pages.  Please notes the statement that these types only apply to Feature Patterns.
