Instructions
- Start by placing a sphere near the top left corner of the workplane.
- Make the sphere bigger. Scale the sphere on all axes. To do this, hold SHIFT + left mouse click on a white handle (White handles are circled in red in the image below), and drag the mouse. Increase the size to about 250mm.
- Change the color of the sphere to grey.
