Hey I was wondering if it's possible to cut a "cone" shape in half.
I need a piece for my church.
If this isn't possible can someone explain to me how else I"m supposed to get it done?

Here's a pic:

learn to use terrain and you will be able to do anything

make a brush shape

make it into terrain

press v

highlight some verts

hold alt and drag them with your mouse

Platje...
Yes this is very possible. I have done this for my big cathedrals...

hey tnx guys.

M.collins if it isn't too much trouble for ya could you pls. make a tut with pics or a vid would be great

Ty....

mmm...looks like the pic. isn't showing right here is a better one:

aim for the least detail possible

for a roof you wont see it close up

if u aim for less then add more as u need it you will save time as well

Looks like you selected Patch > Primitive > Cone.

In this case you cannot simply cut it in half. You can however get one "segment" from it extracted by using Patch > Curve to Terrain. You can then copy and rotate the segment to create a quarter of the cone and then copy it 3 more times. A little welding after this and you get this:

Hmmm... I am not sure how I did it, but my thoughts are yes you can do it. Here is a picture of my cathedral.... Look at the devil horn I did to the side of the cathedral. The base part of the horn is not so clear, but that is indeed a cone cut in half.

Tnx alot for the input guys..

#Zeroy I think I'm gonna try your method tomorrow. That looks exactly like what I want to archieve. I'll let you know if did indeed get it done.

Tnx again.
