Removing segments from a sphere

I’m a newbie; how do I remove two intersecting segments from a sphere, similar to an Xbox logo. I can make a sphere with a segment missing by revolving a semicircular arc less than 360 degrees, but this won’t work to add the perpendicularly placed second removed segment. Any solutions?

    Hi @roger_johnston - not sure where the problem lies? You can either repeat your segment removing process but on a plane perpendicular to the first, or you can use the circular pattern feature to copy it any number of times around the sphere.
