[Lab] sketchupsperts?

[Darcy Whyte]

Thanks Andrew,

I tried that. The problem with subtracting a portion of a sphere is that the
little lines defining the sphere never lined up with the surface. I'll try
again. Perhaps if I make little bowls instead of spheres it will be easier
to make the bowl lips line up with the game surface.
