To Work With Creating Mesh Cones

Create a Mesh Cone With a Circular Base

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Primitive drop-down > Cone.
2. Specify the center point of the base.
3. Specify the radius or diameter of the base.
4. Specify the height of the cone.

Create a Mesh Cone With an Elliptical Base

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Primitive drop-down > Cone.
2. At the Command prompt, enter e (Elliptical).
3. Specify the start point of first axis.
4. Specify the endpoint of the first axis.
5. Specify the endpoint (length and rotation) of the second axis.
6. Specify the height of the cone.

Create a Frustum of a Mesh Cone

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Primitive drop-down > Cone.
2. Specify the center point of the base.
3. Specify the radius or diameter of the base.
4. At the Command prompt, enter t (Top radius). Specify the top radius.
5. Specify the height of the cone.

Create a Mesh Cone With the Height and Orientation Specified by the Axis Endpoint

1. Click Modeling tab > Mesh panel > Primitive drop-down > Cone.
2. Specify the center point of the base.
3. Specify the radius or diameter of the base.
4. At the Command prompt, enter a (Axis endpoint). Specify the endpoint and rotation of the cone.

   This endpoint can be located anywhere in 3D space.
