\n To create a \b Cone in the <b>Main Menu</b> select <b>New Entity - > Primitives - > Cone</b>

\n There are two algorithms for creation of a \b Cone.
\n The \b Result of each operation will be a GEOM_Object (SOLID).

 

\n Firstly, you can define a \b Cone by the <b>Base Point</b> (the
central point of the cone base), the \b Axis, the \b Height and the
first and the second \b Radiuses.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeCone(Point, Axis, Radius1,
Radius2, height)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 1 vertex + 1 vector (for direction) + 3
values (Radius of the base part, radius of the upper part, height).

\n Secondly, you can define a \b Cone with the center at the origin of
coordinates by its \b Height and \b Radiuses. The \b Axis of the \b
Cone will be collinear to the OZ axis of the coordinate system.
\n <b>TUI Command:</b> <em>geompy.MakeConeR1R2H(Radius1, Radius2, Height)</em>
\n <b>Arguments:</b> Name + 3 values (Radius of the base part, radius
of the upper part, height).

\note If both radiuses are non-zero, the \b Cone will be truncated. If
the radiuses are equal, a \b Cylinder will be created instead.

<b>Example:</b>

Our <b>TUI Scripts</b> provide you with useful examples of creation of 
\ref tui_creation_cone "Primitives".
