CSGSphere
=========

**Inherits:** :ref:`CSGPrimitive<class_CSGPrimitive>` **<** :ref:`CSGShape<class_CSGShape>` **<** :ref:`GeometryInstance<class_GeometryInstance>` **<** :ref:`VisualInstance<class_VisualInstance>` **<** :ref:`CullInstance<class_CullInstance>` **<** :ref:`Spatial<class_Spatial>` **<** :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:`MeshInstance<class_MeshInstance>` 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.

+-----------+-------------------------+
| *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.
