The Cone command creates a surface cone.

#### Command-line options

* DirectionConstraint: Direction constraints restrict the direction of the cone

  1.None: Pick or type a number to set the height.

  2.Vertical: Creates a cone perpendicular to the contruction plane.

  3.AroundCurve: Draws the base circle perpendicular to the picked point on a curve. The center line of the cone will be tangent to the curve.
* Solid (Yes/No): Decides if the bottom will be capped to create a solid or open cone.
* Radius: Draws the base circle by picking the center point and a radius point.
* 2Point: Draws the base circle from two opposite points.
* 3Point: Draws the base circle through three points.
* Tangent: Draws the base circle tangent to one, two, or three curves.
* FitPoints: Draws the base circle by fitting to selected points, control points, or mesh vertices.
