Description

Creates a simple parametric sphere, with position, angle1, angle2, angle3 and radius parameters.

How to use

In the workbench Part click on the sphere icon . The sphere will be positioned at origin (point 0,0,0) on creation. The angle parameters permit to make a portion of sphere instead of a full sphere (they are set to 360° by default).

Options

The parametric sphere is defined by the following parameters:

  • Radius
  • Angle 1
  • Angle 2
  • Angle 3
  • as well as the standard set of placement parameters

The picture below gives an overview of a parametric sphere with parameters different from the default value.

Parameter

  • Radius: Radius of the sphere
  • Angle 1: 1nd angle to cut / define the sphere
  • Angle 2: 2nd angle to cut / define the sphere
  • Angle 3: 3rd angle to cut / define the sphere

Because it is quite difficult to explain the meaning of the parameters angle 1, angle 2, angle 3, the picture below gives an explanation about these parameters.
