SphereSegment

SphereSegment is a geometry node. Hint: insert a Shape node before adding geometry or Appearance. Note: Also provides texCoords, and tangents and binormals (at tex coord 1 and 2 respectively).

Filter: X3D only | Avalon only | All
id Name DataType PartType Default ValueType Description
SFFloat radius SFFloat initializeOnly 1 Size in meters. Warning: simple-geometry dimensions cannot be changed after initial creation, use Transform scale instead.
MFFloat longitude MFFloat initializeOnly contains longitudinal angles, phi in degrees
MFFloat latitude MFFloat initializeOnly contains latitudinal angles, theta in degrees
SFVec2f stepSize SFVec2f initializeOnly 1 1 [1, inf) specifies the step size taken from the angle list
SFBool useGeoCache SFBool initializeOnly TRUE controlls the use of geometry caches for primitives with equal properties
SFBool solid SFBool initializeOnly TRUE Setting "solid" true means draw only one side of polygons (backface culling on), setting "solid" false means draw both sides of polygons (backface culling off). Warning: default value true can completely hide geometry if viewed from wrong side!
SFBool lit SFBool initializeOnly TRUE Specifies whether to enable/disable lighting the geometry. TRUE enables lighting, FALSE disables lighting.
SFFloat resolution SFFloat inputOutput 1 factor for subdivision of mesh
SFInt32 multiResolutionLevel SFInt32 initializeOnly 1 resolution level in progressive mesh
SFBool invalidateVolume SFBool inputOutput FALSE set volume invalid
SFString normalUpdateMode SFString initializeOnly nice none; fast; nice force update of normals; nice update is with creaseAngle, fast is without
SFString cacheMode SFString initializeOnly auto auto; dlist; vbo; off controls the creation of geo cache objects; auto is vbo or dlist for dynamic objects
MFString optimizationMode MFString inputOutput auto auto; all, none, sharedVertex; stripFan; vertexResort; reduceIndexSize; singleIndex optimization mode settings; used leading +/- to switch modes on and off
MFString logFeature MFString inputOutput state, child, parent, route, eventIn, eventOut controls the logging of changes, state: log state changes (e.g. live), child: log child add/remove, parent: log parent add/remove, route: log route add/remove; eventIn: log receiving of events, eventOut: log sending of events: guiView, runtime system should create node-view, guiEdit: runtime system should create node-editeverything: log everything
SFNode metadata SFNode inputOutput MetadataObject container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element
