A
cone can be full or truncated. If a truncated cone is generated, r > 0.
The following parameters have to be specified to create a cone:A
cone can be full or truncated. If a truncated cone is generated, r > 0.
The following parameters have to be specified to create a cone:
R — radius of the cone base;
r — radius of the top of the truncated cone;
H — height of the cone;
nH — number of elements along the height of the cone;
nR — the same in the base of the cone;
Rotation angle (α) — central angle in degrees (0° < α ≤ 360°). If the rotation angle is less than 360°, an open surface is generated.
Any shape of the division of the mesh or lattice can be selected for the cone from those suggested in the Create the Surface of Revolution dialog box. Examples of design models of a sphere are given below.
