Surfaces > Primitives > Cone

Creates a NURBS cone, with an option for capping the end with an extra trimmed surface.

See Create a 3D geometric primitive

Cone options

Sweep

The degrees of rotation around the center of radial primitives.

For example, if you enter 180 degrees in the sphere tool, AliasStudio will create a hemisphere.

Sections

The number of subdivisions (spans) on the surface.

The default is 8. At least 4 subdivisions are usually needed to create a workable primitive shape. It is not usually necessary to use more than 20 subdivisions.

Caps

Creates a trimmed surface to close the open end of the cone.
