        Presumably you want the surface detail as well rather than just the shape?

              Ah - now that makes for a challenge.

                Perhaps Longhand + Winowizer4 ??
                Here's a short version - repeat the copying/scaling before Windowizing to get the desired formCapture.PNG
                Incidentally I have discovered that by updating offset.rb to RickW's latest v2.1 [for the face-offsetting in my EEbyRailsToLattice tool] it has now broken his RickW's own Winowizer4.rb - the Array::offset is renamed Array::offsetPoints and it is coded a little differently anyway, so it fails - I am in touch with him to resolve this and have updated the zipped set of Extrusion Tools to include a version of offset that now works with 'everything'... πŸ˜’

                  A faster adaptation of your last method would be to use fredo's box twist ruby to twist the 'cone' then unhide all the linework. Works pretty well πŸ‘
