Polyedron and sphere

Grasshopper

Hello,
i need to explain in french, if some one can translate for me…

j’ai besoin de modéliser un polyèdre de 720 faces pour découper une sphère en triangle, pour la réaliser en différents panneaux, j’ai télécharger le plug in “Polyhedra”, mais quand je génère le polyèdre, les différents sommets ne sont pas exactement sur la sphère correspondante, est ce normal?

Is it normal that the vertices of a 720 face polyhedron created using @dale ‘s polyhedra plugin do not fall precisely on the corresponding sphere?

Is there another way to create a 720 face polyhedron like this?

I wonder if it’s possible to pull the vertex points to the sphere and then create a new mesh from the points…

Yes, since it is centred on the origin, you can just treat the vertex positions as vectors and unitize them to project to the unit sphere:
