ok who took geometry in high school
ok to figure out how to make a flat sheet that when rolled = a con what do you do
Circumfrence of the bottom of the cone draw a line = to that then from the midpoint of that line draw a nother perpendicular to it at a length = to the side height of the cone and there you have it
now if you want a quicker way to do it someone could easily create a lisp to do all that for you
shadow,
Your right the example I gave is elementary. I used it to keep things simple. When you have the segments of several cones in one surface it can get messy. Just looking for a way to speed things up.
Thanks Gary
