Angle of a cone

[bullit2312]

I have a model of a hopper / silo sent from a supplier. How do i find the angle of the cone by using the inspect / measure command?

I want to do this from the .ipt or .iam file and don't want to create a drawing file to do this.

Thanks in advance.

It depends on how the cone was modelled/created. If it is a rotated triangle, open the sketch. Here you can measure the angle. If it was modelled by another method, you can measure the height and the radius of the base circle. Then you have to calculate the angle: atan(Height/Radius).

Or create a plane in the middle and measure the sketch after projecting cut edges

thanks for both replies.
