createConeFrustum

Syntax

createConeFrustum(BottomRadius:length, TopRadius:length, Height:length[, WallThickness:length]) → any

The method createConeFrustum creates a cone in the scene window.

Parameters

• The parameter BottomRadius of data type length sets its bottom radius.

  Type in a greater bottom radius than the top radius to create a funnel-type truncated cone.

• The parameter TopRadius of data type length sets its top radius.

  A top radius of 0 creates the cone with a tip.

  A top radius of greater than 0 cuts off the tip of the cone. This way you can, for example, model a bottle quickly and easily.

• The parameter Height of data type length sets its height.

• The optional parameter WallThickness of data type length sets the wall thickness of the cone.

  If you do not specify the wall thickness, Plant Simulation creates a closed cone.

  If you specify a negative value, Plant Simulation interprets this as if you did not specify a value.

  If you enter 0, Plant Simulation creates mantle without a thickness.

  If you enter a positive value, Plant Simulation creates the cone with the specified wall thickness.

Return Value

The return value has the data type any and specifies the created graphic, compare the method _3D.getGraphic.

Example

var Cone := _3D.getGraphic("deco").createConeFrustum(2, 3, 4)
Cone.MaterialActive := true
Cone.MaterialDiffuseColor := makeRGBValue(255,0,0)

var Cone := _3D.getGraphic("deco").createConeFrustum(2, 3, 4, 0.1)
Cone.MaterialActive := true
Cone.MaterialDiffuseColor := makeRGBValue(255,0,0)
