Part Cone

Description
A parametric truncated Part Cone primitive is available in the Part workbench from the Part tool bar, Part menu (primitives sub-menu) and the Create Primitives dialogue.



Usage

 * 1) Switch to the [[Image:Workbench_Part.svg|16px]] Part Workbench
 * 2) There are two ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button in the toolbar.
 * 4) * Select the from the menu bar.

Result: The default values create a truncated parametric cone that is positioned at the origin (point 0,0,0) and attached to the global xy-plane. Its height of 10 mm is along the global z-axis. The lower is 2 mm, the upper  is 4 mm.

The cone properties can later be edited, either in the Property editor or by double-clicking the cone in the Tree view.

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° 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 label for the object.
 * The function returns the newly created object.
