Cone

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic and Pro, Bricscad (Linux) Classic

Creates a cone as polygon mesh (Classic); creates a cone as a 3D solid (Pro).

Accessing the Command

command bar: cone

menu bar: Draw | 3D Entities | Cone

toolbar: Solids |

: cone

Prompts you in the command bar:

Elliptical/<Center of base of cone> <0,0,0>: (Pick a point, enter coordinates, or enter an option.)

Diameter/<Radius of base>: (Pick a point, enter coordinates, or type D.)

Apex/<Height of cone>: (Pick a point, enter coordinates, or type A.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Center of Base of Cone	Specifies the center of the cone's base; enter x,y,z coordinates or pick a point.
Diameter	Specifies the diameter of the base; prompts you: Diameter of base - enter coordinates or pick a point.
Radius of Base	Specifies the radius of the base; enter coordinates or pick a point.
Apex	Specifies the peak of the cone; prompts you: Apex of cone - pick a point, or enter coordinates. The point you specify determines the height of the cone, as well as the angle at which it is rotated.
Height of Cone	Specifies the height of the cone; pick two points, or specify coordinates.

Elliptical	Creates cones with elliptical bases.
Center	Specifies the center of the elliptical base; prompts you: Center of ellipse - pick a point, or enter coordinates. Endpoint of axis - pick another point, or enter coordinates. Other axis - pick a point, or enter coordinates.
First End of Ellipse Axis	Specifies the endpoint of one elliptical axis.
Second End of Ellipse Axis	Specifies the other end point of the first elliptical axis.
Other Axis	Specifies the end point of second elliptical axis.
