Hemisphere, Cylinder, and Cone wedge shapes about zdog HOT 5 OPEN

This would be a great feature to have. In the mean time, is there any workaround to make a half-hemisphere? (A quartersphere!)

from zdog.

Would it be more flexible to offer wedges of a certain angle, say multiples of 2*pi radians? So a full circle would be 1, a quarter circle would be 0.25, etc.

That sounds great! Does anyone know if there's a way of changing how tall an Hemisphere is? Maybe I'm missing something but changing the width or height only makes the base larger (can be seen better if a backface color is set).

I realize the most recent question is years old now at the time of my reply, but I have a solution, and since others may have the same question in future, I decided it would not be 100% obnoxious to answer ~5 years later. So I couldn’t resist. :)

Since a hemisphere is nothing more than half a sphere, and a sphere has no sense of height, you might achieve something closer to what you have in mind—assuming that I’ve understood your question, which may be a risky assumption—by using a cylinder. Using the ZDog concept of using extreme ‘stroke’ values to add volume, you could make it taller by just extending the path which defines the cylinder’s dimensions.
