To Work With Creating Solid Cones
Create a Solid Cone With a Circular Base
Click
Modeling tab
>
Solid panel
>
Solid drop-down
>
Cone
.
Specify the center point of the base.
Specify the radius or diameter of the base.
Specify the height of the cone.
Create a Solid Cone With an Elliptical Base
Click
Modeling tab
>
Solid panel
>
Solid drop-down
>
Cone
.
At the Command prompt, enter
e
(Elliptical).
Specify the start point of first axis.
Specify the endpoint of the first axis.
Specify the endpoint (length and rotation) of the second axis.
Specify the height of the cone.

Create a Solid Cone With Height and Orientation Specified by the Axis Endpoint
Click
Modeling tab
>
Solid panel
>
Solid drop-down
>
Cone
.
Specify the center point of the base.
