Compute a sphere given the center point (pivot) and the radius (radius). A partial sphere can be computed by using startSweep and endSweep.

The resolution of the sphere in the sweep direction can be controlled by specifying the useTolerance (useTolerance) attribute and the tolerance (tolerance). Otherwise the number of sections (sections) will be used. Use spans to control the sphere's resolution in the opposite direction.

Control the orientation of the sphere by specifying the axis of the sphere.

The degree of the resulting surface can be linear or cubic.
