minimumClock Property 0.0 optional A Property specifying the minimum clock angle of the ellipsoid.
maximumClock Property 2*PI optional A Property specifying the maximum clock angle of the ellipsoid.
minimumCone Property 0.0 optional A Property specifying the minimum cone angle of the ellipsoid.
maximumCone Property PI optional A Property specifying the maximum cone angle of the ellipsoid.
show Property true optional A boolean Property specifying the visibility of the ellipsoid.
radii Property optional A Cartesian3 Property specifying the radii of the ellipsoid.
heightReference Property HeightReference.NONE optional A Property specifying what the height from the entity position is relative to.
fill Property true optional A boolean Property specifying whether the ellipsoid is filled with the provided material.
material MaterialProperty Color.WHITE optional A Property specifying the material used to fill the ellipsoid.
outline Property false optional A boolean Property specifying whether the ellipsoid is outlined.
outlineColor Property Color.BLACK optional A Property specifying the Color of the outline.
outlineWidth Property 1.0 optional A numeric Property specifying the width of the outline.
stackPartitions Property 64 optional A Property specifying the number of stacks.
slicePartitions Property 64 optional A Property specifying the number of radial slices.
subdivisions Property 128 optional A Property specifying the number of samples per outline ring, determining the granularity of the curvature.
shadows Property ShadowMode.DISABLED optional An enum Property specifying whether the ellipsoid casts or receives shadows from each light source.
distanceDisplayCondition Property optional A Property specifying at what distance from the camera that this ellipsoid will be displayed.
