Adds a polygonal sphere to the scene.
How to use
1. Click the PolySphere icon or choose the Tools > Primitives > Polygonal Volumetric > PolySphere command.
2. The program console prompts Local axes origin.
3. Position the sphere either by clicking and dragging any view (release the mouse button to confirm placement) or by typing its XYZ coordinates in the console. Values must be separated by a comma, i.e. 1,2,3, and confirmed by pressing Enter. If you press Enter without typing any value, the axes origin of the sphere will be placed in correspondence with the XYZ origin.
4. The program console prompts Radius.
5. Define the preferred radius by either clicking and dragging the Radius hotSpot or by typing the radius value in the console. Hold the mouse button down after the click to interactively draw the circle.
