After launching FreeCAD, the Additive Box is the one displayed in the toolbar. To get to the Ellipsoid button, click on the down arrow besides the visible icon and select Additive Ellipsoid in the menu.</li>
<li> Set the Primitive parameters and <a href="Part_Attachment.html" title="Part Attachment">Attachment</a>.</li>
<li> Click <span style="background: #DDDDDD; border: 1px solid #888888; padding: 0px 5px 1px 5px;">OK</span>.</li>
<li> An Ellipsoid feature appears under the active Body.</li></ol>
<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Options">Options</span></h2>
<p>The Ellipsoid can be edited after its creation in two ways:
</p>
<ul><li> Double-clicking it in the Model tree, or by right-clicking and selecting <b>Edit primitive</b> in the contextual menu; this brings up the Primitive parameters.</li>
<li> Via the <a href="Property_editor.html" title="Property editor">Property editor</a>.</li></ul>

<ul><li> <span style="font-size: 0.6em;padding-right:10px;">DATA</span><b>Attachment</b>: defines the attachment mode as well as the Attachment Offset. See <a href="Part_Attachment.html" title="Part Attachment">Part Attachment</a>.</li>
<li> <span style="font-size: 0.6em;padding-right:10px;">DATA</span><b>Label</b>: label given to the Ellipsoid object. Change to suit your needs.</li>
<li> <span style="font-size: 0.6em;padding-right:10px;">DATA</span><b>Radius1</b>: the radius value along the ellipsoid's vertical axis; by default, parallel to the Z-axis.</li>
<li> <span style="font-size: 0.6em;padding-right:10px;">DATA</span><b>Radius2</b>: the radius value along the ellipsoid's length; by default, parallel to the X-axis.</li>
<li> <span style="font-size: 0.6em;padding-right:10px;">DATA</span><b>Radius3</b>: the radius value along the ellipsoid's width; by default, parallel to the Y-axis. At the default value of zero, the ellipsoid forms an <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblate_spheroid">oblate spheroid</a>. This has the same form as if Radius3 is identical to Radius2.</li>
