That's CSG, which stands for Constructive Solid Geometry. These are
"true" spheres, described by a centre and a radius rather than by vertices
and triangular faces. They were used in the Juggler demo, but were not
present in early versions of Sculpt. They *are*, however there in more
recent versions (I think the one I have is v2.09; the program and manual
are at work, so all of what I say here is from memory, but it should be
fairly close). You get them by adding a sphere as usual, but typing "-1"
into the requestor when asked for the number of subdivisions. They are
represented in the tri-view as a 1-subdivision (ie 12-vertex) sphere, and
will also appear that way if rendered in the non-ray-tracing modes (wire,
sketch, painting). In snapshot and photo mode, though, what you get is a
smooth sphere, with no facets. They have their limitations, but if you
just need spheres, they are great!
