does any body have any idea on how to drawn a 3D solid ellipsoid-but not with generated surfaces-

RE: ellipsoid
You can create a solid half sphere and make a block of it and scale it in 3 dimensions differently.

RE: ellipsoid
Set variable pellipse = 1 and draw a full ellipse
as a polyline. Draw a line along the major axis
of the ellipse. Trim the ellipse and line, then
use pedit to make your polyline profile. Revolve
the profile 360 degrees and you'll have your
ellipsoid.
RE: ellipsoid
You can create ellipsoid using the REVSURF command, you can draw a profile and then rotate that profile around an axis. SURFTAB1 AND SURFTAB2 system variables control the mesh of a revolved surface. The SURFTAB1 value determines the number of segments in the direction of rotation around the axis and SURFTAB2 value divides the path curve into segments of equal size. You even have an option to draw the ellipsoid thru 360 degrees of rotation or just a portion of that. Hope this helps - John
RE: ellipsoid
In going over your post carefully, all 3d objects in ACAD has surfaces. When you plot your ellipsoid, you have the option of printing in PS isometric. My previous post will generate a 3D wireframe model. The wires can be controled through SURFTAB1 and SURFTAB2 system variables. You can futher reduce the wires thu the HIDE command. You can use isometric construction to build single line ellipoid in three dimensions. You set isometric variables in the Drafting Setting dialog box. To access this dialog box, enter DS, SE, DSETTING, RM, or DDRMODES at the command prompt. I'm not sure what you want?
