Re: Sphere creation

There are two more things to say about your model: - The DatumPlane is unattached, which can make things attached to it unreliable or unpredictable - The sketch for the sphere contains a 0mm horizontal distance constraint. Use vertical alignment constraint instead. It is in general recommended to p...

You need to use an arc instead of a circle if you only want half the sphere. In the video I put the circle into construction mode, then make an arc.
