Carving On A Dome

[BobHill]

Has anyone come up with a method to create a carving (with curves and shapes) on top of a domed surface (or concaved, for that matter)? I could have sworn that I saw a thread on this somewhere, but can't find it anywhere.
Thanks,
Bob Hill

Bud,

YOU ARE THE MAN ! I knew I had seen something on this and for sure, your video is excellent in every detail and covers exactly the process as I need it. THANK YOU, a ton. I had forgotten all about MERGE as I've used it for multiple patterns, but never thought of it's use with surfaces and regions.

Bud,
I thought I'd show you what I needed the carving on a dome for, so here it is. Thanks again.
