18.1.4.6. Sphere layer

Use this command to create:

• a truncated sphere

• a truncated sphere shell

• a truncated sphere layer

The sphere segment can be displayed in the dialog box by a wireframe or with hidden lines as well as with its approximation lines.

Creating a truncated sphere:

• Enter the radius of the sphere in the dialog box.

• Specify the distance between the center of the truncated sphere and the truncated sphere base plane. In the case of a positive value the base is above the center point. In the case of 0 the base is on the center point so the result is a semi-sphere.

• Enter the height of the sphere layer.

Creating a truncated sphere shell:

• Enter the thickness of the shell as well.

Creating a truncated sphere layer:

• Specify the starting and ending angles of the layer as well.

• Press OK to close the dialog box, and

• Place the sphere segment at a 3D point.

Option:

2The placement of the sphere layer is performed by its center point.
