Note: See the Circle command for option descriptions.

Sphere options

4Point

Draws the sphere based on three points that define a circumference and a point to establish the location.

4Point steps

1. Pick three points, or two points and a Radius, to define a circle that will lie on the sphere.

The fourth point sets the size of a sphere constrained by the circle.
