Is it possible to make a sphere using the new 3D tool in Xara?

I was wondering if its possible to make a sphere using the newly introduced 3D tool in Xara. That would be an interesting technique I'd like to learn...

You can create spheres quite simply without the using the 3D tool.

Gary has a workbook article about this here.

Also, for quick simple solid spheres, draw a perfect circle (Ctlr+Drag Ellipse) tool, then apply a circular fill.

You can get pretty close by typing in 999 and using a curved setting.

After that you can even putz around with the lights to make it look better (I didn't do that).

I thought it kind of looked like one of those wooden beads, sans the hole. Perhaps something you might find on an abacus.

Oh... I've seen at the tutorial before. Its just that I wanted to know how to do it using the new tool because as Drifter said, when I was experimenting, I got close to that figure but was not able to create a sphere.. So I was just wondering if there is another method...
