Hello community.  
I am modeling an igloo, or at least trying to.  
I have built the dome, and trying to make the tiles using the projector tool to extrude them, but it becomes really messy when reaching the top part of the structure.  
I was wondering if there is an easier way to do this.

Thanks!

I don’t know about easier. It’s all about getting the sketch right before projecting it onto the dome. Here’s a close approximation.
