Beach Ball
The Beach Ball was part of the Patterns On Spheres design on SketchUp for extra credit where we made a flat circle in the ground, and a flat circle at 180 degrees. Then, using the follow me tool you make it into a sphere, with the flat circle on the ground a little bigger so it sticks out of the sphere. Next, you copy the flat circle that is now in the center of the sphere 12 times around the square and use the rotate tool to rotate it 45 degrees.. Finally, you color each part of the sphere. One problem I had with the beach ball was making the sphere. It was hard to make one circle flat on the ground and I couldn't figure out how to do the other one facing up so I could make the sphere.
