Please, don't ever be afraid to ask!
With nearly a million registered users of DesignWorkshop out there (yes, more using the free version than anything else, but heck, we're still pioneering the real live 3D direct manipulation user interface!) every conceivable question gets asked (several times).
Our users learn from these questions, and our software design team learns from the questions too. (If we could only stop learning, then maybe we'd finish that great version in the sky!)
Not only can DW do spheres, a few different ways, but it has been lightly integrated with specialized tools for modeling geodesic domes, making it one of the easier applications out there for those challenging structures.
BTW, Gary, it is a pleasure to have your comments in the forum. The old-timers had gotten a little tired of talking to each other. And since DesignWorkshop is so pure and simple as it is, all they can think of by themselves to talk about is new things!
Sometimes I almost regret not making more normally hyper-complex software, that supports phalanxes of trainers and consultants, with lots of mysterious knowledge for transimission by forum. But then I take a peek at the latest work in the User Gallery by Jeff and Ken and Andrea and Larry and Gary and Paul and a hundred empowered designers and kids and visualizers I've never met yet...
