obj = CONE/point1,[VECT,x,y,z,]ANGLE,a,point2,point3
Creates a cone by defining a vertex point, an angle equal to half of the desired vertex angle, and two points which define planes normal to the cone axis that bounds the cone creation.
Parameter |
Description |
point1 |
A previously defined point which establishes the vertex of the cone. |
VECT |
The optional minor word indicating that the attitude of the cone axis is to be specified by vector components. |
x,y,z |
The three component values of a vector which establishes the axis of the cone. If omitted the default axis is parallel to the Z axis of the work coordinate system. |
ANGLE |
Minor word that indicates that the vertex angle of the cone is to be specified. |
a |
A value equal to one half of the vertex angle. This value establishes the generatrix of the cone. |
point2,point3 |
Previously defined points which lie in the bounding planes of the cone. The bounding planes are normal to the cone axis. |
