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...] }
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.
