Description

Cone angle constraint

Allows to control the top angle of a cone by specifying angle between the axis and the cone face (= cone half angle).

You are prompted:

Select a cone face: Select the face of a cone.

You are prompted:

Specify angle value <xx.xx>: Type a value. Values must be greater than 0°and smaller dan 90°.

Axis

Allows to specify the rotation axis.

You are prompted:

Select single entity/subentity: Select a 3D solid edge or a line.

You are prompted:

Specify angle value or [Change axis/Remove axis] <xx.xx>:
