Simple question- how do you find the x,y, and z coordinates of the
surface of a sphere? I know you can get the x and z coordinates by:

x#=sin(angley#)*radius#
z#=cos(angley#)*radius#

but how do you get the y coordinate?
I also know you can use the newxvalue(), etc for this but I
never could get that to work for all 3 coordinates.

Help would be appreciated.

I already got help for this- this was on the wrong forum anyway.
