Cap Segments
Sets the number of subdivisions of the caps in a radial direction. The subdivision along the
circumference of the caps is set from the value dened in Rotation Segments.
Fillet Segments
If you have chosen to llet the top or bottom of the cone, use Fillet Segments to dene the degree of
lleting. The greater the value, the ner (or more rounded) the llet becomes. To chamfer, set Fillet
Segments to 1. Below is a truncated cone whose upper extent has been lleted. To the left is a chamfer,
in the center a rough llet and, on the right, a ne llet.
From left to right: Fillet Segments set to 1 (a chamfer), 3 and 10.
Top, Bottom, Radius, Height
Enable Top and/or Bottom according to where you want to apply the llet or chamfer. Radius and Height
dene the shape of the rounding. If both values are the same, the rounding is circular; otherwise, the
rounding is elliptical. The following illustration shows a few of the shapes you can quickly achieve with the
cone primitive.
