The ball is to be part of a large "trophy", and will be fairly impressive once I get it all figured out. I've been tweaking the design a little and it appears that the spherical radius applied to the polygon side is still a little small since it still has a little gap at mid point between...

After doing some more thinking, I believe I need to scale the polygons according based on total surface area of the sphere. I get different three totally different scale factors when I compare diameters, volumes and surface areas between two known spheres. I strongly believe that the...

Exactly. I won't know for sure until I try do a full layout. They start out looking good, but then things start getting crowded or spaced too far apart. The radius on the hex and pentagon is a piece of cake with AutoCAD. All I have to do is make the polygon, and then apply an arc with...

As for scaling, can I take a 10 inch ball, divide it by 12 to equal .8333333333, and then scale down the hexes and pents by 83.333% ?. Thanks for the help.

Thank you CSDD. That's where I was headed, but I was unable to determine just how concave to make the sides. Could you explain the process?

Essentially, I am going to cut out 20 vinyl hexagons to cover the gazing ball. The pentagons will be formed by the uncovered ball. The hexagons will be cut in a manner so that there will be approx. 1/4" between them so it mimics the seams between the sections and looks realistic. Thank...

I am trying to create a soccer ball using a 12 inch gazing ball and have run into a mathematical dilemma. I’ve disassembled a soccer ball and have reverse engineered the pieces for size and shape, but when I lay the vinyl on the ball, my theory comes to a screeching halt. I’m only good...

Ok...let's take it another step further. Once your applicant has been seated for their interview, have your secretery call their cell phone and then watch for a reaction. If they interrupt you to answer it....STRIKE THREE...you're OUT! Jim

Creativity.....this is your value proposition as a consultant. You help your client become creative by working through the creative process along with them. It's kinda like Walt Disney's "Imagineers". You still have access to the "fun" part of the business, but you let your clients handle...

Matching colors from a web page is a very risky proposition. You should be matching to their specs (PMS).

Being such a large company, I can't believe they don't give their offices access to their artwork...unless it has been contracted to an individual supplier.

Ah yes...the ol' pain in the arse zoning board.... One business here in town had a large banner that hung across the railing (on a large porch) of her business, which happened to run parallel with the road. Her simple message was "Send Flowers". The banner was very tastefully done, yet...

I tried that trick, but it didn't work...it might work better as a preventive maintenence kind of thing...before the pain begins.

I have trouble with ingrown tonails quite often, and I've learned to take care of them myself. If you're not too squeemish, then read on. I like to use a dental pick to gently lift out the troublesome nail. I soak my foot in warm water (with epsom salt) for about a half hour first. It...

For those of you using Quick Books, how many of you are running a business with just Simple Start? I'm just a one-man show with no employees and am wondering if Quick Books Pro would be overkill. One of my goals is to become "accounting savvy" in 2011. Any experiences and opinions would...
