surface question

Create a curve by projecting a curve (circle) on a sphere. If the
projection had a thickness it would have the shape of a contact lense.
Cut the resulting curve from the projection in half. Discard one
half of this curve. Now connect the open ends of this curve with a
staight line. Regarding creating a surface from this curve: I've
tried it using boundaries without much luck. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Should work by just picking the two curves as first direction curves for a
Boundary Blend. Perhaps if you will outline the exact steps you are using
in the attempt, the version you are using, perhaps your experience level
(helps when making assumptions where necessary), etc., someone may be able
to help you sort it out.

 

You should be able to do it using boundaries. Use the two projected curves
for your boundaries in the first direction, then select the end vertices of
either one of
your two projected curves as your boundaries in the second direction.
Should work.
