Hello everyone!
I have a question/problem I cant solve, so I would appreciate your help very much.
I have object, (pictures attached) and I need to get exact measures of its body (cloak/mantle) I get the bottom part, its simple circle, I got the cut off part (ellipse) but the body of cone I have no idea how to measure that, how to get exact cloak/mantle of it, or how to draw it. If anyone have any suggestion, or idea, or can help, bring it on
P.S.
English is not my 1st language, and I have no idea how express myself in geometry and math 😄
For such a big community, I must admit, I expected a little bit more interaction. Have I not make myself clear or, no one in whole community cant tell me is there a way in autocad 2004 to get exact measures of an objects' cloak/mantle?
A question for you:
Do you want to do this for existing 3D Solid objects that the User would select? I don't know of a way to do that [but I would not claim there is no way]. But if you have the geometric information about it [the base diameter, the angle of the sides or height to the peak of the cone if it were not truncated, the angle of the truncating plane and height of the point where that plane intersects the vertical center-line of the cone], I think something could probably be worked out.
However, this is not a version-specific issue. You would be better off trying in the Customization Forum.
Sorry for my impatience and kinda missing the place for thread, as you can see I'm brand new here.
Thanks for response. I'll try in Custimization forum, with a bit more info of the object itself, and .dwg of a cone.
