Parameter Fields¶

Visible Fields¶

Radius¶

name: radius, type: Float, default: 1¶: Sets the radius of the sphere. This value must be greater than 0.

Subdivision¶

name: subdivision, type: Integer, default: 0¶

Sets the number of subdivisions for the tessellation of the sphere.

A default value of 0 means that the tessellation is auto-calculated based on the module SoComplexity. A subdivision value greater than 0 will force the module to always use that specified number of subdivisions.
