drawing a sphere?

Question

Anyone know if it is possible to draw a 3 - D sphere with microsoft word or Visio or.......as a last resort downloadable software (free of coarse) .

Answer 1

It would take more work to do it in those programs than in a graphics program.

This 3D graphics program is free: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Blender.31.0.html

The graphics programs below are also all free:

Answer 2

I am not sure if it is possible to draw a 3 - D sphere with microsoft word or Visio but you can always import it as a image file.

Answer 3

You can draw a circle with either program. But since a 3D sphere basically looks like a circle, but with shading to indicate shadow and depth, you'd have to add that yourself to the circle.
