   I should add that you can get some interesting effects by simply changing the shape of the cone. You might want to play with a variety of cutter shapes to see what gives you the best appearance.

   thanks for the help

   Thanks for the help.  It is so simple when you see it in a picture.  The concept of the intersection to create the geometry you want is a eurika (pardon the sp) moment for me and I'll remember that going forward.  Thanks again for the quick response.  U DA MAN!

   Hi Bones, I'm glad that

   Hi Bones,

   I'm glad that worked out for you. Often it is easier to draw the shape of the cutter or the volume of space it occupies during the cut than it is to draw the cut itself.  You can see a similar thing in the bolg post I did on Stopped Curved Chamfers. I used the same idea for a lot of more complex shapes when I am drawing.

   The cone

   The result looks pretty sharp. What grit is your SketchUp sharpening cone, Dave?  ;-)

   Hi Ralph, that was actually a rather coarse one but I can make them as fine as you'd like. ;)

   Hope you are doing well.

   Coarse and fine grits in SketchUp

   "I can make them as fine as you'd like."

   I was confident you could, Dave. ;-)

   Thanks for the well wishes.
