I am trying to cut the end of an ellipsoid offand replaceit witha piece of sphere. To achieve this, I was hoping touse two identical but orthogonal curves like the one shown in Figure A belowcombined withthe circle formed by the top edge of thechopped off ellipsoid to form the spherical bit using Boundary blend.
The problem is that I am only able to get one of the curves (Figure A). I was able to draw the one curvebecause I was able touse the edges of the ellipsoid as references. However, when I try to draw the orthogonal curve, for some reason sketcher will not let me set any of the ellipsoid as a reference. Anyone know what my problem is?
The ellipsoid is a surfacecreatedwith the same method way I am trying touse to makethe spherical bit -- boundary blend of a circle and two curves in the other direction.

Figure B (not able to select the necessary references):
