Details
Constructors (1), (2), (3) and (6) create cones with two circular bases. The bases radii are 1.0 and 0.5 for constructor (1), radius1 and radius2 for constructors (2), (3) and (6).
Constructors (4), (5), (7) and (8) can have elliptical bases with two radii each. The radii values are radius1X, radius1Y, radius2X, radius2Y for basis 1 and 2 in X and Y directions (constructors (4) and (5)) or the lengths of vectors radial1A, radial1B, radial2A and radial2B for constructors (7) and (8).
For constructors (1) to (6) the basis plane is orthogonal to the cone direction (i.e. the plane normal is parallel to the direction vector) whereas constructors (7) and (8) allow a tilting of the basis planes. This is defined by the radial vectors radial1A and radial1B for the first and radial2A and radial2B for the second base plane. The radial vectors are in-plane and each two vectors A and B are expected to be rectangular on each other.
The cone height is either given by parameter height or by the length of vector direction. direction can also be used to align the cone within an arbitrary directon.
