I am trying to plot an open cone (without the base) with a certain thickness. I have first tried with RevolutionPlot3D
as follows:
RevolutionPlot3D[{t, t}, {t, 0, 1}, Mesh -> 100,
MeshStyle -> Transparent, PlotStyle -> {Opacity[0.5]},
PlotTheme -> "ThickSurface", Boxed -> False, Axes -> False,
PlotRange -> {{-1, 1}, {-1, 1}, {0, 2}}]
However, the generatrix is visible for some reasons:
I have then tried with Graphics3D
and Cone
:
Graphics3D[{Cone[], Thickness[0.1]}, ClipPlanes -> {{0, 0, 1, 1}},
Boxed -> False, Axes -> False]
But changing the thickness doesn't seem to change anything.
Is there any hidden function to hide the generatrix in RevolutionPlot3D
? I understand though that ideally I should use the function Cone
since it is less heavy in memory.
