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: Angle defined between the y-axis (green arrow) and an imaginary rotating line around the x-axis (red arrow). One end of the line is fixed on the origin. The other end of the line may rotate as said around the x-axis and remain in the XY-plane. The line has the length of the radius of the sphere.
  • Angle 2: Test
