1. Input Cone Valuesโ
First, you'll need to enter the Top Diameter, Bottom Diameter, and Height parameters into the corresponding form fields.
| Parameter | Purpose | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Top Diameter | The diameter of the cone's top. This should be the larger of the two diameters. | inch/mm |
| Bottom Diameter | The diameter of the cone's bottom. | inch/mm |
