Cone

The cone is defined in its own coordinate system, with its axis along the z-axis. The lower circular face is centered at the origin in the plane z = 0, the upper one lies in the plane z = <height>.

Without <upperRadius>, the upper radius is 0 and the cone ends in a tip. Equal radii give a cylinder.

Oblique views of (a) a cylinder with radius and height and (b) a truncated cone with lowerRadius, upperRadius and height; both have their axis along z and the origin at the centre of the lower face

Figure (b) shows a cone with an upper radius in its coordinate system, figure (a) a cylinder, which is the case of equal radii (cylinderType).
