Surfaces > Primitives > Cone

Creates a NURBS cone, with an option for capping the end with an extra trimmed surface.

Procedures

Create a 3D geometric primitive

Cone Options

Object Degree

The degree of the curves or surfaces used to create the object. Choose 1 (linear) or 3 (cubic).

Sweep

The degrees of rotation around the center of radial primitives.

For example, if you enter 180 degrees in the sphere tool, Alias creates a hemisphere.

Sections

The number of subdivisions (spans) on the surface.

The default is 8. At least 4 subdivisions are usually needed to create a workable primitive shape. It is not usually necessary to use more than 20 subdivisions.

Caps

Creates a trimmed surface to close the open end of the cone.
