It would need a bit of work on it to handle the cone. As the macro uses Bezier splines
it
could be modified to handle any shape. Problem is - is it worth the trouble for just

special case?

Question is does it matter. So the basin has a cone in it. So what !
As long as the cone is not transparent you could run a surface right
through it an no one would ever know.

The disc. I haven't tested this, it's just an idea.

Oh NO ! Not ME ! I would sleep better at night knowing that I did not
needlessly waste my time on something that didn't need it.
