Cone

The MeshCone command draws a polygon mesh cone.

Command-line options

DirectionConstraint

Direction constraints restrict the direction of the cone.

None

Pick or type a number to set the height.

Use elevator mode, object snaps, or other modeling aids to help picking a location.
The cursor location is the positive direction when you type a number to set the height.

Vertical

Creates a 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 cone will be tangent to the curve.

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

Solid (Yes/No)

Decides if the bottom will be capped to create a solid or open cone.

Radius

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

Diameter

Circumference

Area

ProjectOsnap

2Point

Draws the base circle from two opposite points.

3Point

Draws the base circle through three points.

Radius

Tangent

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

Point

FromFirstPoint

Radius

FitPoints

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

VerticalFaces

Sets the face count between the bottom and the apex.

AroundFaces

Sets the face count in the east-west direction.
