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.
