Create a surface or mesh from the points and voila!

Cull or whatever any other points you don't need. There are dozens of plug-ins available from both McNeel and other software companies that complement and expand Rhinoceross capabilities in specific fields.Use a Cull Duplicate Points to remove the repeating points on the mesh sphere(s) (and maybe do it again to end up with the points that should hit the mesh sphere(s) and the surfaces).You should then have some points that hit the surfaces and points that again hit the mesh sphere(s). The script was made in Rhinoceros 3D modeling software with. Use a Mesh | Curve intersection component and include the surfaces and the mesh sphere(s) for the computation. This sort of materials can be found in bug shells and butterfly wing scales, this structure.
