OK, just a cute title. ::)
The attached drawing provides a "dynamic" conoid shape. There are three control points to modify the shape :o : 1 to move the tip of the cone and 2 to control how the sides interface with the circular base. Crude, but it seems to work. ;)
Enjoy.

and I've got another one that I started yesterday and completed just now, it's a modified version of the cone taken from the 3D Geometry stencil at

The apex of the conoid now moves with the control.
A slightly modified version with some of the extraeneous shapes and control points removed.
Trimming the shape like this I'm tempted to rename the thread Conoid the Barber, Ian.
Works well for musical note Visio shapes too!

Did you pull that out of your trombone? :D I just had to "slide" that comment in! :o ;D
