To draw a dome based on the radius

 
  1. Specify the radius of the dome.

Center of dome: Specify the center point of the dome.

Diameter ◆ <Radius of dome>: To draw a dome based on the radius, enter the radius or specify a point. To draw a dome based on the diameter, choose Diameter and enter the diameter, or specify a point.

Number of divisions around dome <16>: Specify the number of horizontal divisions around the dome, usually between 4 and 20. A large number of divisions takes the program longer to display the dome. A small number of divisions makes the dome unrecognizable.

Number of top-to-bottom divisions <8>: Specify the number of vertical divisions up and down the dome.
