Figured out how to raise the roof so to speak. Now to break out one of the staves. Thanks again.

Ok, here is my base model. So how do I get the cone to evolve from here?

Thanks guys, let me kinda digest what you have suggested and see if I can replicate it. I have not used the "auto-fold" tool yet. Where in the tool bag is it?

Can anyone give me assistance on how to make a conical roof image with segmented staves such that I could figure out what size each piece would be and the angle each stave should be cut to in order to make the structure. I am looking at the bottom diameter to be 20" x 12" tall with a 3.5" opening at the top. The opening will be filled with a turned finial. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
