Re: Nose Cone Macro
Hello,
Only a year late, but this post was just brought to my attention. I'm the author of that macro.
Yes, You're supposed to revolve the shape. In the Part workbench (not Part Design), select the object, and then the revolve operation. For the reference, select the x axis. This will then revolve the cone to create your desired shape. You'll have to add other desired features such as a shoulder yourself.
I am working on improving this macro to make it more full featured and I'll create a YouTube video on how to use it when it's done.
Let me know if you have questions.
Dave
