TransientGeometry.CreateEllipticalCone Method

Parent Object: TransientGeometry

Description

Method that creates a new EllipticalCone object. The object created is a transient mathematical object and is not displayed graphically

Syntax

TransientGeometry.CreateEllipticalCone( BasePoint As Point, AxisVector As UnitVector, MajorAxisVector As Vector, MinorMajorRatio As Double, HalfAngle As Double, IsExpanding As Boolean ) As EllipticalCone

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
BasePoint	Point	Input Point object that specifies the base of the elliptical cone.
AxisVector	UnitVector	Input UnitVector object that specifies the direction of the axis of the elliptical cone.
MajorAxisVector	Vector	Input Vector object that specifies the direction of the major axis of the elliptical cone.
MinorMajorRatio	Double	Input Double that specifies the ratio of the minor and major axes of the elliptical cone.
HalfAngle	Double	Input Double that specifies the taper angle of the elliptical cone. This is the angle measured from the axis to the side of the elliptical cone.
IsExpanding	Boolean	Input Boolean that if the taper of the elliptical cone is expanding outwards or inwards in the direction of the axis vector. If True and the HalfAngle is positive, then the elliptical cone is expanding outward along the axis vector.
