Is the following correct?
For a given value y, you want two formulae:
x = Fx(y) and z = Fz(y)

And it's important that your cone is orientated exactly as you have
specified, rather than in some other position that might make the
calculations easier?

If Yes to both then I expect other functions in BOSL2 could deliver that, in
the hands of somone like Adrian. But it should also be possible from first
principles and grunt work.
