Ellipsoid

Menu: Solids / Ellipsoid

Toolbox Icon:

Draws a solid “football” shape - an oblong solid with radii defined for all three directions.

Point 1: The center of the ellipsoid

Point 2: Major axis (unless you are specifying values)

Point 2: Minor axis (unless you are specifying values)

Specify the number of facets in both directions.

You can either enter the three radius values, or deselect Specify Radius and use the cursor to size the ellipsoid

Set the first point at the center of the ellipsoid. If you are setting the radius points using the cursor, set two more points for the major axis and minor axis. If you entered the radius values, the second point determines the orientation of the ellipsoid.
