Sphere 2 points not working when vertical

Sphere with the 2 points option doesn’t make a sphere with

_Sphere _p 0 0,0,20

I don’t see why it should fail?

_Sphere _p 0 0.000000001,0,20
works.

Hi @Charles,

The issue stems from the normal direction of the active view’s construction plane being in the same direction as the vector created between your two input points.

If you set the Front or Right view active and then run this:

_Sphere _p 0 w0,0,20

You’ll get a result.
