Column / Cone Function [ColCon]   Enhanced Column / Cone Function

Starting with version 2.0, BuildCalc's Column/Cone function has been enhanced to display the most information with the least number of keystrokes.  One press of the [ColCon] key and all Column/Cone function results are displayed in a list.

Calculates descriptive geometry for a column and cone based upon a height value (stored in [Height]) and either a diameter (stored in [Circle]) or a [Radius].

Area Results:
Area results are for the curved surface (walls) of a column or cone and exclude the flat, circular surface(s).



Volume Results:
Think of the volume of a Column or Cone as the amount of something (like concrete) required to fill the column or cone.

Cone Angle Result:
Cone Angle is the slope of the cone walls.
