Part Cone/en

Description
The Part Cone command creates a parametric cone solid. In the coordinate system defined by its property, the bottom face of the cone lies on the XY plane with its center at the origin.

The default Part Cone is truncated. It can be turned into a full, untruncated, cone by changing its or  property to zero. It can be turned into a segment of a cone by changing its property.



Usage

 * 1) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 2) * Press the button.
 * 3) * Select the option from the menu.
 * 4) The cone is created.
 * 5) Optionally change the dimensions and  of the cone by doing one of the following:
 * 6) * Double-click the object in the Tree view:
 * 7) *# The task panel opens.
 * 8) *# Change one or more properties.
 * 9) *# The object is dynamically updated in the 3D view.
 * 10) *# Press the button.
 * 11) * Change the properties in the Property editor.
 * 12) * Change the with the [[Image:Std_TransformManip.svg|16px]] Std TransformManip command.

Properties

A Part Cone object is derived from a Part Feature object and inherits all its properties. It also has the following additional properties:

Data
The object has the same attachment properties as a Part Part2DObject.


 * : The radius of the bottom face of the cone. Can be if  is larger than . The default is.
 * : The radius of the top face of the cone. Can be if  is larger than . The default is.
 * : The height of the cone. The default is.
 * : The angle of the circular arc that defines the top and bottom face of the cone. Valid range: . The default is . If it is smaller than the resulting solid will be a segment of a cone.
