Command:
CONE
Specify center point of base or [3P/2P/Ttr/
Elliptical]:
Point
Specify base radius or [Diameter]:
Value or
point
Next, we have to specify the height of the cone:
Specify height or [2Point/Axis endpoint/Top
radius]:
Value or point
Most of the options are similar to those of the
CYLINDER
command. They are as fol-
lows:
•
3P
/
2P
/
Ttr
: These options are identical to the options of the
CIRCLE
com-
mand, thus allowing us to define the base circle by three points, two
points on the diameter or tangent to two existing objects, and a specified
radius respectively.
•
Elliptical
: This allows us to define an elliptical base for the cone with the
same options as the
ELLIPSE
command. By default, it prompts for two
points that define the first axis and the distance of the second semiaxis.
The
Center
option defines the elliptical base starting from the center.
