Part Cone

Description
The Part Cone command creates a parametric cone solid.

FreeCAD creates a cone, each side with a radius of 2 millimetre a height of 10 millimetre.

By default, the cone is positioned with the center of the bottom face at the origin (0,0,0). The bottom of the cone is on the xy-plane. Its extension in z-direction follows the positive axis value.



Usage

 * 1) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 2) * Press the button.
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.

Example


A Part Box object with the values of the bottom scripting example are shown here.

Properties

 * : Radius of the arc or circle defining the lower face
 * : Radius of the arc or circle defining the upper face
 * : Height of the Part Cone
 * : Number of degrees of the arc or circles defining the upper and lower faces of the truncated cone. The default 360° angle creates circular faces, a lower value will create a portion of a cone as defined by upper and lower faces each with edges defined by an arc of the number of degrees and two radii.

Scripting
A Part Cone can be created using the following function:


 * Where is the user editable name for the object.
 * The function returns the newly created object.

The label text of the object can be easily changed by

You can access and modify attributes of the object. For example, you may wish to modify the lower or upper radius, the height or the angle parameters.

The result will be a 270° portion of a full cone.

You can change its placement and orientation with:
