Thanks for replying.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>What I'm looking for is not a cone. It is a surface which mainteins the same radius while it is tangent to the horizontal plane and, additionally, it touches a 3D line.

The green line is its projection in the visible plane. I want a sweep with the blue line as profile that is tangent to the plane (which in this case means that the center of the arc will be at the same elevation for all cross sections) and it intersects the 3D line.
