Cone
The cone statement creates a finite length cone or a
frustum (a cone with the point cut off). The syntax is:
CONE:
cone {
<Base_Point>, Base_Radius, <Cap_Point>, Cap_Radius
[ open ][OBJECT_MODIFIERS...]
}
|
The geometry of a cone. |
Where <Base_Point> and <
Cap_Point> are vectors defining the x, y, z coordinates of the
center of the cone's base and cap and Base_Radius
and Cap_Radius are float values for the corresponding
radii.
Normally the ends of a cone are closed by flat discs that are parallel to
each other and perpendicular to the length of the cone. Adding the optional
keyword open after Cap_Radius will remove
the end caps and results in a tapered hollow tube like a megaphone or
funnel.
