Hi everyone !

I can't figure out to how to model this.
I have a golf ball dimple dimensions. I need to model the ball with hexagonal and pentagonal dimples having nearly spherical depressions. To help you better understand this, I have attached a picture of a standard golf ball with hexagonal dimple.

How can I model this ball on Solidworks ?
Thanks in advance !

Did you see this post on the PTC forums from 2013? It uses the same reference image that you have.
