Is there a a way to position the paraboloid on the sphere in a different place once I snap it? I still want the base of the paraboloid attached to the sphere by its base, but on a different place on outside of the sphere.
Not sure what you mean here - to start OrientOnSrf, you place two points - the first of these determines the location of the object on the target surface - for instance, if you have a solid paraboloid with a circular end cap and you snap the first point to the Cen of that circle, that is the point that will end up on the sphere - at the point to click on the sphere… does that make sense?
