Keyboard: AI_CONE, and CONE for versions without support for ACIS solids

Intermediate

Draws a cone as a 3D mesh.

  1. Specify the base of the cone.
  2. Specify the radius of the base of the cone.
  3. Specify the height of the cone.

Center of base of cone: Enter the center point of the base of the cone.

Diameter � <Radius of base>: Enter the radius of the base of the cone, or specify a second point to indicate the radius. To specify the diameter of the base, choose Diameter and then enter the diameter or specify two points.

Diameter � <Radius of top surface> <0>: Enter the radius of the top surface of the cone, or specify a third point to indicate the radius. To specify the diameter, choose Diameter and then enter the diameter or specify two points.

Height of cone: Enter the height of the cone.

Number of divisions around cone <16>: Specify the number of divisions, usually between 4 and 20. A large number of divisions slows the program considerably. A small number of divisions makes the cone unrecognizable.
