Purpose¶

The node SoCone represents a simple cone whose central axis is aligned with the y-axis. By default, the cone is centered at (0, 0, 0) and has a size ranging from -1 to 1 in all three directions. The cone has a radius of 1 at the bottom and a height of 2, with its apex at 1. It consists of two parts: the sides and the bottom.

Parameter Fields¶

Field Index¶

Bottom Radius: Float

Height: Float

Parts: String

Sections: Integer

Sides: Integer

Visible Fields¶

Parts¶

name: parts, type: String, default: ALL¶: Sets the visible parts of the cone; value are SIDES, BOTTOM, and ALL. Default is ALL.

Bottom Radius¶

name: bottomRadius, type: Float, default: 1¶: Sets the radius of the base circle.

Height¶

name: height, type: Float, default: 2¶: Sets the cone’s height.

Sides¶

name: sides, type: Integer, default: 0¶

Sets the number of sides for the tessellation of the cone.

A default value of 0 means that the tessellation is auto-calculated based on the module SoComplexity. A value greater than 0 will force the module to always use that specified number of sides.

Sections¶

name: sections, type: Integer, default: 0¶

Sets the number of sections for the tessellation of the cone.
