I am trying to draw a cone to the screen using BaseDraw::DrawPolygonObject()

Here's the code I use

  
PolygonObject* cone = NULL;  
  cone = (PolygonObject* )GeneratePrimitive(bh->GetDocument(), Ocone, BaseContainer(), 1.0, FALSE, NULL);  
  if (!cone) return;  
  
bd->DrawPolygonObject(bh, cone, DRAWOBJECT_0, NULL, red);

it works fine except for one small glitch. When the cone is drawn to the viewport, it is drawn as a cylinder.. LOL Is this a bug or am I doing somethign wrong.. I even tried to go in and adjust the tip radius to see if it was just messed up but that didn't work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn

Thanks Franz, That fixed it.

  
BaseContainer bcCone;  
  bcCone.SetReal(PRIM_CONE_TRAD, 0.0);  
  
  PolygonObject* cone = NULL;  
  cone = (PolygonObject* )GeneratePrimitive(bh->GetDocument(), Ocone, bcCone, 1.0, FALSE, NULL);  
  if (!cone) return;
