There's no simple way.  You need to construct a polyhedron. There are libraries that will help you do this, mostly with the name "sweep".  Here is one such function: https://github.com/revarbat/BOSL2/wiki/skin.scad#functionmodule-sweep These generally operate by having you supply a polygon that is then swept along a specified path to form a polyhedron. Here's an example: include <BOSL2/std.scad> // Usual $fs, $fa, $fn control the number of sides of the circle. $fs = 0.5; step = 0.01; // Steps from 0 to 1 by this increment bend = 15; // In degrees height = 20; // Before bending r1 = 3; // At base r2 = 0; // At peak path_transforms = [ for (t=[0:step:1-step]) xrot(bend*t) * translate([0,0,height*t]) * scale(1 + t*(r2-r1)/r1) ]; sweep(circle(r=r1), path_transforms);
