ELLIPSOIDSEGMENT
Creates Plant's general ellipsoid/football-style segment with independent RX/RY dimensions and four angular limits.

Step by step
- Pick the insertion point.
- Set RX and RY.
- Set A1, A2, A3 and A4 angular limits.
- Inspect the trimmed preview before Boolean use.
Parameters
ELLIPSOIDSEGMENT(s, RX, RY, A1, A2, A3, A4): RX is the big ellipsoid axis, RY is the small ellipsoid axis, A1 is the complete rotation angle, A2 is the start angle of rotation, A3 is the start angle of the ellipse and A4 is the end angle of the ellipse.
Parity
Designer preserves all six native Plant arguments and exports them unchanged. Complex trimmed combinations should still be included in the Plant parity test because the native modeler remains authoritative for final geometry.
Keep in mind
- Parameter Graph sockets use RX, RY, A1, A2, A3 and A4 exactly; Properties does not duplicate these values.
