hello
i have many “edited spheres” that i want to obtain the original of. is this possible? i want to obtain the original sphere because i need the geometry centers of each one, and cut parts of the edited spheres change the center points. any thoughts on this ?
need to see the geometries.
Just get the bounding box’s center.
can you elobarte a little ? sorry i am new to this
Post the geometry, I show you.
Maybe…?

(might not work for all, since it’s looking for the spherical face in a brep that has the largest area)
Here is one that will do multiple breps in a list - FWIW

interesting idea, thank you
this is amazing, thanks
Hmm… note that this method is not 100.000% accurate. If you really want it precise, you need to get the original sphere and then do the rest stuff.
Mine should be 100% accurate IF any of the original sphere segments has the largest area of all the faces in the object.
Yes, I agree.
Bounding box is not the best idea. With the large openings the bounding box will not be a regular box.
I recommend selecting the largest surface (or hand-pick it) and then automate making the points on it and build the sphere on top of these point. 100% accurate:
You can also untrim the brep surfaces, get the radii from the arc edges, form new sphere:
