This subpanel creates three-dimensional, full-cone solid primitives.

solids_conefull_example

In this example, the cone is created with a top radius of 1.0; if the radius had been 0, it would taper to a point instead.

Five inputs are required to create a cone using this method:

The bottom center node defines the center of the bottom cone face.
The vector between the bottom center node and the normal vector node defines the cone axis, thereby indicating the cone orientation.  This does not indicate the actual cone height.
The top radius defines the radius of the top cone face.  If set to 0, a cone tip is created; if greater than zero, the cone has a flat top.
The base radius defines the radius of the bottom cone face.  This value must be greater than 0.
The cone height defines the distance between the cone's base and its top.
