I apologize in advance if this is in the docs someplace, but I can't find
it.

I am trying to make an iso surface in the shape of a cone that is flat on
both ends. The base will have a radius of R1, the top will have a radius of
R2 and the length will have a value of L.

Any takers?

Thanks,

Tim

Look into isocsg library. It contains ready solution in two versions.
