How to draw 3D Quarter Sphere


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi there, anyone could help me with this?

I would like to draw a quarter of a sphere using Picture Control. However I still cannot figure out how to do it.

If this can't be achieved using Picture Control, is there any other method?

Thanks in advance!

You can use the Draw Arc VI from the Picture Functions palette.

Oh I could do it this way, I forgot to mention that I mean a 3D quarter sphere. There are VIs where I can use to create a whole 3D sphere, however I only want a quarter of it.

Sphere is 3D... I should have understood. ;)

I see what you mean. You'll have to "Add Clip Planes" to prevent the sphere to be drawn past some limits you set.
