Hello,=C2=A0

I d= on't think the videocopilot forum is too active much since Andrew has m= oved on to bigger things (mostly) so wonder if someone here might be able t= o help.

I'm building a model in E3D and my question here, is how t= o model a cylindrical cone BUT without the tip. Think, Apollo command modul= e where the top is sort of chopped off to allow the docking surface.=

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

The deform is not shown in the element= work space so you can't really work on it much other than placing item= s, guessing location, then going out and checking position back in AE.

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