Sketch to Sphere Distortion?

[Anonymous]

Hi all!  I just started fusion 360, and I've been working on a project with a sphere base.  Basically, I'm trying to make panels out of a sphere.  I started with a sketch, and when I cut out the sketches on the sphere, it comes out fine on the side I'm working on.  However, when I rotate the sphere, it the panels have taken up too much space and or are in incorrect locations.  How do I adjust my sketch to take into account the curvature of the sphere?  Thanks!

i figured out part of the problem, but I don't think it's a viable longterm solution.  Also, I'm having an issue moving the sketch labeled as "panel old".  Thanks for your help!

Perhaps this may help.

Hello

I am also trying to project a sketch on to a sphere surface.

Is there a way that Fusion can do the coordinate system transformation for me?

so that the image is a stereographic projection of my sketch.

I was thinking of attaching my sketch to the sphere as a label and then tracing it with

line tools.

any other ideas?
