  4. Top radius
  1. Apex
  2. Ellipse axis
  3. Other axis

Methods

This command has 2 methods to begin creating a cone:
  • Center of base of cone
  • Elliptical

Options within the command

Center of base of cone
Specifies the center of the base of the cone.
Radius of base of cone
Specifies the radius of the base of the cone.
Diameter
Specifies the diameter of the base of the cone.
Radius of top of cone
Specifies the radius of the top of the cone.
Diameter of top of cone
Specifies the diameter of the top of the cone.
Elliptical
Allows you to create an elliptical cone by specifying the first end of the ellipse axis.
Center
Specifies the center of elliptical base.
Endpoint of axis
Specifies the endpoint of axis.
Second end of ellipse axis
Specify the second end of the ellipse axis.
Other axis
Specify the radius of the other axis.
Apex
Specify the location for the top of the cone.
Height of cone
