Cone

3-D Standard > New > Solid primitive > Cone

You use this function to create circular cones and cone segments. It also allows you to generate hollow cones.

Enter the part name. Activate or deactivate the Reference, Feature and BOM-relevant checkboxes.

Now enter the required data.

If you have chosen the Preview mode, position the cone in the drawing. The fitting point is the centre of the base surface.

In the Points direct mode, you specify the start and end points of the axis, e.g. Absolute (0,0,0) and (0,0,500).

Please note:

• If you enter negative values for the height or the axis lengths, they are marked off in the direction of the corresponding negative axis.
• If the top diameter is 0, a pointed cone is created, otherwise a truncated cone.

Hollow cone: (1) Height, (2) Base diameter, (3) Top diameter (4) Wall thickness, (5) Fitting point

Cone segment: (1) Height, (2) Base diameter, (3) Top diameter, (4) Start angle, (5) End angle, (6) Fitting point
