If the radii are spaced 10° apart, from –90° to +90°, in plan view on the base of the cone, then on the development the ... Angle between Radius Vectors = 137.888009° / 18 = 7.660445° = 10° × 5 / 6.527036 = 7.660445° Datum points on the development of the elliptical frustum were determined using 18 radius vectors following the nappe(s) of the cones(s). (The nappes and radius vectors for both cones are superimposed, refer to the development above). Where x, y and z are points on the ellipse following the surface of the 5/12 roof, the origin being the intersection of the height of the right circular cone and the surface of the roof ... |
