Experience Level: Intermediate

Draws a three-dimensional cone as an ACIS solid, with a circular or elliptical cone and a symmetrical or offset tip. 

Elliptical · <Center of base of cone> <value>: Specify the center point of the base of the cone. For a cone with an elliptical base, choose Elliptical. To specify the number of divisions (tessellation lines that define the surface of the cone), choose Divisions.

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

Apex · 2Point · <Height of cone>: Enter the height of the cone, or select a point to indicate the height. To draw a cone with an offset top, choose Apex. To specify the height by picking two points, choose 2Point and then select the two points.

To draw a cone with an elliptical base

Choose Elliptical.

Center · <First end of ellipse axis>: Specify the first end of an ellipse representing the base of the cone. This ellipse is drawn based on the length of one axis and the half-length of the second axis. To draw the elliptical base based on a center point and the endpoints of the minor and major axes, choose Center.

To draw a cone with an apex tip

Choose Apex.

Apex of cone: Specify a point for the apex (tip) of the cone.
