A frustrum is a general right elliptical cone with a top radius greater than 0.
To create a Cone or Frustrum:
On the Command Panel, click on Geometry and then Volume.
Click on the Create action button.
Select Cone from the drop-down menu.
Enter in the desired values for Height, Top Radius and Radius.
Select Cirular or Elliptical.
Click Apply.
Command
[Create] Frustum [Height|Z] <z-height> Radius <x-radius> [Top <top_radius>]
[Create] Frustum [Height|Z] <z-height> Major Radius <radius> Minor Radius <radius> [Top <top_radius>]
Notes
If used, Major Radius defines the x-radius and Minor Radius the y-radius.
If used, Top Radius defines the x-radius at the top of the frustum; the top y radius is calculated based on the ratio of the major and minor radii.
