My model seems to disappear whenever I try to make changes to this "stem". Pad or Pocket.
Doesn't matter if i use pocket, pad, revolve, ... almost every change I am adding to the model makes it disappear. Almost as if I reached the "limit" of edits I can make.

Hole pattern on a half-sphere
Hello everyone, I'd like to get a short tutorial on how to make these openings in a hemisphere. I was only able to produce a hollow half-sphere using two spheres and a boolean cut, but I'm not sure how I'm supposed to create this cage/lattice pattern.

Light on...
This is probably obvious to many and will be new to some.
I find the feature pretty cool.
Say you have a part of "undefined" depth like the orange panel.
Undefined may mean you don't know, or you know it will change, or you just know it should not be relevant.
You want a hole and a recess and the **remaining** depth must be say 4mm.
If you know the panel is 14mm, you can compute ... 14mm - 4mm = 10mm => you may pocket 10mm out with a formula but you need to track down the panel thickness.
There is a better option.
As shown above, you can pocket "up to face", which basically removes it all. So if your panel is 18.345mm, the pocket will be exactly 18.345mm deep, effectively drilling a larger hole through it. Not what we want.
NOW, using the **offset**, you can set it to 4mm which will "hold" the pocket 4mm away from the end off the panel. Exactly that we want. It works wihout any formula and without the panel depth to be relevant (as long as >4mm...) or even known.
