Hello,=C2=A0
I don't think the videocopilot forum is too active much= since Andrew has moved on to bigger things (mostly) so wonder if someone h= ere might be able to help.

I'm building a model in E3D and my ques= tion here, is how to model a cylindrical cone BUT without the tip. Think, A= pollo command module where the top is sort of chopped off to allow the dock= ing surface.

The reason that is important is because making a= cone is fairly simple using the generator in the Element work space but yo= u 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 ot= her than placing items, guessing location, then going out and checking posi= tion back in AE. Also to deform, that item must be in a separate group that= complicates things.

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

Thanks,
Eric<= /span>=C2=A0=C2=A0
