Usage

2. The task panel is opened.
3. Optionally set the values for the origin and the radius of the section sphere.
4. Press the OK button to finish.

Edit a sphere function

If the Sphere object is hidden in the 3D View, select the Sphere object in the Tree View and press Space to make it visible, like in this example:

Move the sphere

• Click and drag the spherical grid to move the sphere.

Scale the sphere

• Click and drag one of the 8 small cubes to scale the sphere.
