Truncated Cone

The TruncatedCone command draws a cone whose apex is truncated by a plane.

Steps

  1. Draw the base circle.

  2. Pick a location or type a number to set the height.

    The positive direction of the height is different based on the selected DirectionConstraint option.

  3. Draw the end circle.

Base circle options

DirectionConstraint

Direction constraints restrict the direction of the truncated cone.

None

Pick or type a number to set the height.

Vertical

Creates a truncated cone perpendicular to the construction plane.

  • The CPlane +Z direction is the positive direction when you type a number to set the height.
AroundCurve

Draws the base circle perpendicular to the picked point on a curve. The center line of the truncated cone will be tangent to the curve.

  • The curve direction is the positive direction when you type a number to set the height.

Solid

Caps the top and bottom openings or leave them open.

Radius

Draws the base circle by picking the center point and a radius point.

2Point

Draws the base circle from two opposite points.

3Point

Draws the base circle through three points.

Tangent

Draws the base circle tangent to one, two, or three curves.

FitPoints

Draws the base circle by fitting to selected points, control points, or mesh vertices.

End circle options

Radius

Pick a location or enter a number to set the end circle radius.

Diameter

Pick a location or enter a number to set the end circle diameter.
