cylinder exactly flush to the plane to the sphere. Can anyone help me?
Here is the code that show what I am attempting. It shows the sphere,

| (...) First question: do you know your angle of rotation? If you don't know the angle, it's going to be very hard to get the right fit. Answer #1: If you've got LDraw Add-On, use the rotation tools in the LDAO Editor. They are very similar to the (...) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.cad)
