CSGSphere3D
===========

**Inherits:** :ref:`CSGPrimitive3D<class_CSGPrimitive3D>` **<** :ref:`CSGShape3D<class_CSGShape3D>` **<** :ref:`GeometryInstance3D<class_GeometryInstance3D>` **<** :ref:`VisualInstance3D<class_VisualInstance3D>` **<** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A CSG Sphere shape.

Description
-----------

This node allows you to create a sphere for use with the CSG system.

\ **Note:** CSG nodes are intended to be used for level prototyping. Creating CSG nodes has a significant CPU cost compared to creating a :ref:`MeshInstance3D<class_MeshInstance3D>` with a :ref:`PrimitiveMesh<class_PrimitiveMesh>`. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **rings**

+-----------+------------------+
| *Default* | ``6``            |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_rings(value) |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_rings()      |

Number of horizontal slices for the sphere.

----

.. _class_CSGSphere3D_property_smooth_faces:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **smooth_faces**

+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Default* | ``true``                |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_smooth_faces(value) |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_smooth_faces()      |
+-----------+-------------------------+

If ``true`` the normals of the sphere are set to give a smooth effect making the sphere seem rounded. If ``false`` the sphere will have a flat shaded look.
