    Sorry, the documentation is wrong - center should be a query not a length vector. 
    annotation { "Feature Type Name" : "Quick Sphere" }
    export const quickSphere = defineFeature(function(context is Context, id is Id, definition is map)
        precondition
        {
            annotation { "Name" : "Select sphere center", "Filter" : EntityType.VERTEX, "MaxNumberOfPicks" : 1 }
            definition.center is Query;
            
            annotation { "Name" : "Sphere size" }
            isLength(definition.sphereSize, LENGTH_BOUNDS);
        }
        {
         
            sphere(context, id + "sphere1", {
                    "center" : definition.center,
                    "radius" : definition.sphereSize / 2
            });
        });
    If you need to specify a vector, please use fEllipsoid:
        fEllipsoid(context, id + "sphere", {
                "center" : vector(0, 0, 0) * inch,
                "radius" : vector(definition.sphereSize / 2, definition.sphereSize / 2, definition.sphereSize / 2)
        });
