Synopsis
This design defines a basic three dimensional cone. Cone is a solid and inherits rules from the design SolidMixin which includes typical mass properties associated with solid entities. The minimum requirements for creating an instance of a cone are height and radius.
Canonicals
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| height | number | Height of the Cone along the Z axis from the basePoint to the topPoint |
| radius | number | Radius of the Cone in the XY plane measured at the basePoint |
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| topRadius | number | A topRadius of zero will produce a Cone with a pointed top. Values greater than zero will flatten the top of the Cone and the height of the Cone will measure to the flattened top. |
Rules
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| basePoint | point | Point at the center of the bottom face of the Cone. |
| topPoint | point | Point at the top of the cone. If the topRadius is greater than zero, then the topPoint is at the center of the top face. |
