Creating Cones

The Cone tool creates cones using one of two modes.

 

Mode	Description
Cone by Radius and Height	Defines the base of the cone by radius and tip of the cone by height
Cone by Radius and Tip	Defines the base of the cone by radius and, if desired, snaps the tip of the cone to a point

When in a non-isometric view, the height of the cone is set in the Set Extrusion Height dialog box. In an isometric view, the cone height can be set by dragging with the mouse or entering the height in the Data bar. For more information on the different views, see Using Standard Views.

The cone height can be changed with the 3D Reshape tool (see Reshaping 3D Objects), the radius can be modified in the Object Info palette, and the resolution can be adjusted through the 3D Conversion Res setting (see Setting VectorWorks Preferences).
