How to Create a Sphere in SOLIDWORKS | Beginner Tutorial

January 15, 2026

This tutorial shows how to create a sphere in SOLIDWORKS using a single sketch and feature. For a solid sphere, draw a semicircle and use the Revolve Boss/Base feature with a 360° angle. For a surface sphere, follow the same steps but use Revolve Surface, resulting in an infinitely thin geometry with no mass. Both methods are quick and ideal for beginners.
