I use 3dtools to draw the circle passing through three points S, A, D. I tried

I  got ![ScreenHunter 796.png](/image?hash=4d6375b1ca5e682f2ca4005f21216911e32308986cf48022c46f7f59b3865a30)

It seems, I got incorrect result. Where is wrong?

You are doing everything right, in principle. The heart of the problem is not related to tikz-3dplot-circleofsphere nor 3dtools. Rather, it is the inaccurracies that come from computations in LaTeX that are to blame. In general, in LaTeX computations can be done by playing with lengths or by using more elaborate tools like the fpu library or xfp. The results of these methods differ. In the situation at hand, a tiny difference has large impacts since one amplifies them. The radius of the circle and the sphere coincide, at least in theory. You compute two different radii. According to the computation (I switched to fpu but it does not solve the problem), the sphere has a radius R=6.428496000000000 and the circle, i.e. distance between I and S is R_S=6.42527000000000. The relative error is as small as Delta R=0.00050183. Nonethless, the acos of the ratio of the radii is, according to pgf, as large as -1.28128. (The true value is even larger, the trigonometric functions are known to be very inaccurate in pgf when the arguments are very close to the special vaues 0, 90 degrees and so on, but this is not really the problem here.) So the upshot is that with pgf you will get an incorrect result, at least proceeding this way. You can just set the gamma angle to 0 to obtain the correct result. It would be interesting to know if xfp does much better here.

The problem disappears when one does the computations completely with fpu. I updated the 3dtools library accordingly, the result can be found at https://github.com/marmotghost/tikz-3dtools. Apart from solving this issue, the updated library is arguably also cleaner since it does not introduce all the lengths that were introduced in the previous library. Notice, though that in general the problem persists, see e.g. https://github.com/pgf-tikz/pgf/issues/874 (and the reaction by the maintainer of Ti*k*Z who was informed about this multiple times before the issue got reported). Let me mention that it is in principle possible to solve these problems, along with all the dimension too large errors once and for all.

Note however that the computation of the gamma angle in this way is not too well motivated either. You get the elevation of the circle by comparing radii. However, an arguably much cleaner determination is to compute the distance of the centers of the circle and the sphere, and to compute its asin to obtain the gamma angle. In theory, this distance is 0, but even with the slight offset the result is correct.
