Create a flare or a pyramid. Flares are often used in the construction of horn
antennas and waveguide transitions.
On the Construct tab, in the Create solid group, click the 
Flare icon.Tip: Press C,2 to use the shortcut key.
Method 1: Base centre, bottom width, bottom depth, height, top width, top
depth
|
Base centre (C) |
The centre of the flare base |
| Bottom width (Wb) |
The width of the base in the U axis
direction. |
| Bottom depth (Db) |
The depth of the base in the V axis
direction. |
| Height (H) |
The height of the flare, in the N axis
direction. |
| Top width (Wt) |
The width of the top in the U axis
direction. |
| Top depth (Dt) |
The depth of the top in the V axis
direction. |
