How to draw a perfect sphere

Post by physicsfrac »

Hello All!
I want to be able to draw a perfect sphere. I can draw a perfect circle by drawing a circle in 2D then translating the for points individually so that they are equidistant from one another. However if I inflate this, no matter what thickness I choose the sphere is flattened on the front and rear.
Any suggestions or other approaches?
Thanks!

Nevermind, I figured it out, but for those interested, in the 3D tab choose Lathe, make a circle around the origin and set the X & Y both to zero.
Perfect sphere!
