Slice
Slice
Enable Slice to show a slice of the cone only. Enter the angles for this slice into the From and To
boxes.
Various From and To settings.
Regular Grid, Width
The Regular Grid option is only available when Slice is enabled. By enabling Regular Grid and entering
a value into the Width box you can control the subdivisions within the plane of section of the sliced
object. Small values produce a ne subdivision while larger values result in a coarse structure. This
subdividing only affects the face (the plane of section) of the slice. Use this option only if you intend
to process the object further after slicing it.
Interactive editing
The cone initially has three handles. However, note that, at rst, handle 1 (for the height) and handle
3 (for the upper radius) are in the same position. Drag handle 1 to change the height, handle 2 to
change the lower radius or handle 3 to change the upper radius.
Handles 1 and 3 initially lie in the same position. Drag the handles to change
the height or Shift-drag the handles to change the upper radius (and thus
separate the two handles at the same time).
