Sphere (SphereSource)
Create a 3D sphere given a center and radius.
The Sphere source can be used to add a polygonal sphere to the 3D scene. The output of the Sphere source is polygonal data with point normals defined.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Center
(Center)
This property specifies the 3D coordinates for the center of the sphere. 0 0 0  
End Phi
(EndPhi)
The value of this property can be adjusted to form only a portion of a sphere. The value is measured in degrees. 180

The value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 180.

 
End Theta
(EndTheta)
The value of this property can be adjusted to form only a portion of a sphere. This value is measured in degrees. 360

The value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 360.

 
Phi Resolution
(PhiResolution)
The value of this property represents the number of divisions between Start Phi and End Phi on the sphere. (See the Start Phi and End Phi properties.) The phi divisions are similar to latitude lines on the earth. 8

The value must be greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 1024.

 
Radius
(Radius)
This property specifies the radius of the sphere. 0.5

The value must be greater than or equal to 0.

 
Start Phi
(StartPhi)
To form a complete sphere, the value of this property should be 0 degrees, and the value of the End Phi property should be 180 degrees. The value of this property can be adjusted to form only a portion of a sphere. Set the starting angle (in degrees) in the latitudinal direction. 0

The value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 180.

 
Start Theta
(StartTheta)
To form a complete sphere, the value of this property should be 0 degrees, and the value of the End Theta property should be 360 degrees. The value of this property can be adjusted to form only a portion of a sphere. 0

The value must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 360.

 
Theta Resolution
(ThetaResolution)
The value of this property represents the number of divisions between Start Theta and End Theta around the sphere. (See the Start Theta and End Theta properties.) The theta divisions are similar to longitude lines on the earth. The higher the resolution, the closer the approximation will come to a sphere, and the more polygons there will be. 8

The value must be greater than or equal to 3 and less than or equal to 1024.
