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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 |
cacheMode | SFString | initializeOnly | auto | auto; dlist; vbo; off | controls the creation of geo cache objects; auto is vbo or dlist for dynamic objects |
 |
invalidateVolume | SFBool | inputOutput | FALSE | set volume invalid | |
 |
latitude | MFFloat | initializeOnly | contains latitudinal angles, theta in degrees | ||
|
lit | SFBool | initializeOnly | TRUE | Specifies whether to enable/disable lighting the geometry. TRUE enables lighting, FALSE disables lighting. | |
 |
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 | |
|
longitude | MFFloat | initializeOnly | contains longitudinal angles, phi in degrees | ||
 |
metadata | SFNode | inputOutput | MetadataObject | container for payload metadata inside MetadataSet element | |
 |
multiResolutionLevel | SFInt32 | initializeOnly | 1 | resolution level in progressive mesh | |
|
normalUpdateMode | SFString | initializeOnly | nice | none; fast; nice | force update of normals; nice update is with creaseAngle, fast is without |
|
optimizationMode | MFString | inputOutput | auto | auto; all, none, sharedVertex; stripFan; vertexResort; reduceIndexSize; singleIndex | optimization mode settings; used leading +/- to switch modes on and off |
 |
radius | SFFloat | initializeOnly | 1 | Size in meters. Warning: simple-geometry dimensions cannot be changed after initial creation, use Transform scale instead. | |
|
resolution | SFFloat | inputOutput | 1 | factor for subdivision of mesh | |
|
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! | |
 |
stepSize | SFVec2f | initializeOnly | 1 1 | [1, inf) | specifies the step size taken from the angle list |
|
useGeoCache | SFBool | initializeOnly | TRUE | controlls the use of geometry caches for primitives with equal properties |
