      Hello,
      I have found some documentation of how to create a cone via a method either w/ prism or a circle and the follow me tool. This seems to work pretty well. What I was hoping is that someone may know how to draw what is called a oblique cone. It is a cone where the apex is not centered over the base of the cone. See: http://www.mathwords.com/o/oblique_cone.htm

      Any help is greatly appreciated,

      Thanks,
      Derek

        Simply create a cone and then use the move command to move the apex, no?
