Am I making a tessellated sphere correctly in Creo

I need to make a model of a sphere with a sensor screwed into every vertex of a tessilated sphere. My plan at the moment is to calculate those vertices in an external program, import the points into creo, then use the patern tool selecting each datum point. Is there an easier way to do this?

That's how I'd do it.

You could do it entirely in Creo, but it wouldn't be easier or faster. The advantage would be that you could easily change the number of facets afterwards but you have to weigh up if the initial time investment would pay off for the number of times you're likely to change it.
