Trouble adding texture to sphere

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to add a simple texture to a sphere (similar to the attached screenshots) but whenever I try to sweep the profile along the surface I get the error "inconsistent information in vertex and coedge attributes". I can sweep it as a new body, but cutting isn't possible. I'm using the method I learned to create a knurl, but that was on a cylinder not sphere.

Attached is the file. Any advice is appreciated

You should probably start with some basics such as fully dimensioning and constraining your sketches before you progress to the net step. This would avoid using a yellow icon (feature creates a waring) in the timeline.

The tutorials in the Learn & Support section contain a lot of these useful tips.
