The Splop command copies, rotates, scales, and wraps objects on a surface, like pottery sprigging or appliqué.

  2. Draw a sphere around the input object(s).
    This is the reference sphere that determines the size and orientation.
  3. Select a surface to wrap the objects onto.
  4. Pick a point on the selected surface.
  5. Drag out a sphere.
