Cutting spheres and half spheres.

I'm new to SL, like a month, so this question may be basic to many of you.

Created a half sphere and hollowed it out - that part worked well.

What I want is to quarter this hollowed out object, but when I select the cutting too, the cuts are made along the horizontal, not the vertical.

Using a hollowed out cone I was able to quarter it the way I wanted, but with the half sphere the section is perpendicular to the cut I want.

Hopefully this makes sense.

Any and all assistance will be greatfully apreciated.

If I'm following this correctly, I would hollow a sphere and then dimple it to .50, then do my cuts.

Pardon if I dont understand you, but wouldn't each quarter of a hemisphere be identical? Can't you just rotate it?

thanks for the reply - no, the hemisphere cut is 90 degrees off in rotation from what I want- my description is probably way off - what I am ending up with is something that looks like an orange peel. And that is not what I want, unfortunately.

like I said - I'm new at all this - your instructions worked perfectly

thank you again
