CONE command

Creates a 3D Solid in the shape of a cone.

Note: In BricsCAD® Lite, which doesn’t support 3D solids, the CONE command launches the AI_CONE command.

Description

Creates a 3D solid in the shape of a circular or elliptical cone. Choose from a combination of options including center, radius, diameter, 3 point, 2 point, tangents, axis endpoints, and height.

  1. Center
  2. Diameter
  3. Radius
  4. Height

Method

This command has 5 methods to begin creating a cone:

  • Center point
  • 3 Point
  • 2 Point
  • Tangent tangent radius
  • Elliptical

Options within the command

Select center point
Allows you to begin creating a circular cone by specifying the center of the base.
Radius of base of cone
Allows you to specify the radius of the base of the cone.
Diameter
Allows you to specify the diameter of the cone’s base.
3Point
Allows you to begin creating a circular cone by specifying three points on the circumference of its base.
First point
Specifies the first point on the circumference.
Second point
Specifies the second point on the circumference.
Third point
Specifies the third point on the circumference.
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Point 3
  4. Height
2Point
Allows you to begin creating a circular cone by specifying two points on the circumference of its base.
First end of diameter
Specifies the first end of diameter.
Second end of diameter
Specifies the second end of diameter.
  1. Point 1
  2. Point 2
  3. Diameter
  4. Height
Tangent Tangent Radius
Allows you to begin creating a circular cone by selecting a tangent point on the first and second entity.
Specify point on object for first tangent
Allows you to select a tangent point on the first entity.
Specify point on object for second tangent
Allows you to select a tangent point on the second entity.
Radius of circle
Allows you to specify a valid radius for the base.
Note: If you specify a radius that is not possible with the selected tangents, you are prompted to specify the tangents and radius again.
  1. Tangent point 1
  2. Tangent point 2
  3. Radius
  4. Height
Elliptical
Allows you to begin creating an elliptical cone by specifying the first end, second end and the other end of the ellipse axis.
Set first end of ellipse
Specifies the first end of the ellipse axis.
Second end of ellipse axis
Specifies the second end of the ellipse axis.
Other end of ellipse axis
Specifies the radius of the other ellipse axis.
  1. Center
  2. First end of ellipse axis
  3. Second end of ellipse axis
  4. End of other axis
  5. Height
Specify height
Allows you to specify the height of the cone.
2Point
Specifies the height of the cone as the distance between any two points.
Axis endpoint
Specify the axis endpoint to define the height and orientation of the cone in 3D space. The center of the base is used as the other axis endpoint.
Top radius
Specify a radius for the top of the cone. Any radius larger than zero (0) creates a cone with a flat top.
  1. Top radius
  2. Height
