GET PRIMITIVE

Cone

 

The Get->Primitive commands are available in all modules except Tools. They let you define primitive objects which are basic objects with a fixed geometric structure.

For detailed descriptions of polygon mesh objects, curves, and surfaces, as well as the modelling tasks you can perform with them, see the Modelling User's Guide.

The Get->Cone command creates a cone, which is a closed 3D polygon mesh object.

  1. Choose the Get->Cone command.

    The Create Cone dialogue box is displayed.
  2. Set the parameters: Radius, Height, Longitude Step, Latitude Step and Base.
  3. Click Ok to accept the settings or Cancel to exit.

Parameters

Radius

Radius of the cone's base in SOFTIMAGE units.

Height

Length of the cone in SOFTIMAGE units.

Longitude Step

Number of subdivisions around the base (determines roundness).

Latitude Step

Number of subdivisions of the vertical axis.

Latitude Base

Number of subdivisions across the cone's base.
