The reason that is important is = because making a cone is fairly simple using the generator in the = Element work space but you can't cut off anything.

You might say, then deform, well I = did that and it looks great but here's the problem. The deform is not = shown in the element work space so you can't really work on it much = other than placing items, guessing location, then going out and checking = position back in AE.

So, anyone know how to just make a = flat topped cone in Element?

Thanks,
Eric
