FromFoci

MarkFoci: Places a point object at the focus locations.
AroundCurve
Draws the base ellipse perpendicular to the picked point on a curve. The third axis will be tangent to the curve.
VerticalFaces
Number of faces along the first axis.
AroundFaces
Number of faces around the first axis.
CapFaceStyle (Tri/Quad)
Select to use triangle or quad faces at the poles.
This option is only visible when AroundFaces is an even number (4, 6, 8...).
Tri is always used when AroundFaces is an odd number.
