This subpanel creates three-dimensional full cone surface primitives.

surfaces_conefull_example

This example uses a top radius of 0.5, base radius of 3, and height of 4.

Five values are required to create a cone using this method:

The bottom center node defines the center of the bottom cone face.
The vector between the bottom center node and the normal vector node defines the cone axis, thereby indicating the cone orientation.  This does not indicate the actual cone height.
The top radius defines the radius of the top cone face.  If set to 0, a cone tip is created; if greater than zero, the cone has a flat top.
The base radius defines the radius of the bottom cone face.  This value must be greater than 0.
The height defines the cone height.
