How to create a skewed cone?

[wolfcastle]

Hello!

I want to create a skewed cone. In part work bench you can create a solid cone, and it has Radius1, Radius2 and Height. My problem is that the center of Radius1 and Radius2 is on the same plane, but I would like the center of Radius1 to be off center, how do I do that?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!
Create the circles for bases using whatever method you like (e.g., two sketches). And then Part Loft across them.

Thank you, it seemed to do the trick. Except there is a thin slit in the surface from top to bottom of the cone, I'm not sure whether thats a rendering error or not.

There will always be an extra edge joining the two start/finish points of the two circles. If you are really getting a slot then I would guess that one of the circles is not closed.

Note that a point can be also used as a profile for a Part Loft or Sweep, but only as a first or last profile.....See the wiki for an explanation.
