How to create surface

Hi every one.Im trying to create surface on Arc or supherical rad or half a ball please help Thank You.

There are several different ways you can do this. The easiest way IMO is to create a revolved surface. If you want a full sphere draw a half of a circle or 180 deg arc whatever you wanna call it. Then draw a centerline, what I mean is just a line that starts at one endpoint of the arc and ends at the other endpoint. Then pick revolved surface. Chain in partial chain mode. Pick the arc first then hit the green check mark. Click partial again then chain the line. That's all that's to it. If you want a half of a sphere you only use a 90 deg arc. 1/4 circle. Hth

Create - Surface - Primitive - Sphere. Is the easiest way. But Revolve works too. Just takes more steps.
