  Is there an error with the conic-sweep prisms?

I have a gear creation include file that i'm trying to make do bevel
gears, the trouble is that when ever i make the points for a conic_sweep
prism, they seem to be scaled to be slightly bigger(1.1?) in x/z... this
trouble doesn't exist when i'm making a linear_sweep of the exact same
values... is there some settings or an error that isn't documented? or
does anyone have the scale factor?

If there is alot of interest in this code, i might release it... but i'm
not sure yet...

also... has anybody made a rope include file that can make a sertain
length of rope between two points that are not level?
I have all the math, but can't seem to solve it...
(anybody know how to solve n=sinh(z)/z for z?)
