Hi all,

I just finished writing a macro to tile boxes on a sphere and here is 
one image that came out of it (it's pretty unifinished though).
Makes me think of a small planet with far too many buildings.

The second image is to show what the macro can really do if anyone 
interested.

Humm...  Travelling North-south would aslo be a pain in the back as you'd 
constantly have to turn on East-West streets.

Cool.  Post it to P.B.T-F.  I'm sure someone will find it useful.

I was actually thinking of doing a macro like that the other day, but laziness 
and other things got in the way.

I posted the source code to P.T.S.F. (file is not so long) with several 
examples included tha use brick but it is theoritically possible to tile 
any object on a sphere (dimensions are taken from object bounding box).
