Equidistant pattern on a sphere

I have searched for "modeling a golf ball"; the thread linked below titled seemed to have the best option.

However, Dell_Boy only mentions he used a table pattern to create the design; I am unsure how to use the table feature to accomplish the model?

Furthermore, what I really want is to be able to create a pattern of equidistant shapes on a sphere (in particular a .5mm deep by 1mm diameter hemispherical dimple)... not necessarily limited to a golf ball pattern.

Can someone please either send models, or go into a little more detail in creating such an object?

You can email examples to: [email protected]

Best thread I could find: http://www.mcadcentral.com/proe/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID= 26207&TPN=6

Read earlier in the post. If you want truly equidistant you are limited to the 4,6,8,12 20 node solutions as defined by the platonic solids.
