Can I slice a section out of a 3D sphere in Photoshop CC 2014?

Question

Is there a way I can slice a section out of a 3D sphere in Photoshop CC 2014? Like if you took a perfectly round watermelon and sliced a 4 inch slice from its middle so that from the top the slice would look like a circle, and straight-on from the front it would look like a rectangle with straight lines top and bottom, and curved lines on the sides.
thanks!

Yes when you left click, don't drag and the current tool is one of the shape tools other then the line shape tool. You get one of the ridiculous shape dialog.  So don't just click always also drag out the shape.
When I open PS CC I create a new file, select the rectangle tool, and left click-drag to get a box of whatever size I drag.
When I open PS CC 2014 I create a new file, select the rectangle tool, and left click-drag. A few days ago that was creating a box of random size, anywhere from 32000 pixels to a side up to 100000 pixels per side and  placing it with the upper left corner in the middle of the screen. Today when I do it, it still creates a rectangle (105264 x 86400) but what shows on screen is coincident with and constrained by the size of the canvas. I thought perhaps since I had many things open, I was encountering peculiarities due to memory issues. However I closed most things, and the behavior did not change.
I'm wondering if there is a setting that I have different between the two versions?
