Hi there,

I am trying to describe the surface of a cone, for a surface-function in
OPTICA.

Solving (x/a)^2+(y/b)^2-(z/c)^2=0, with a=b, I get a cone pointing
"downwards", could somebody enlighten me how to "let it go" upwards
(point in +z-axis)?

I know it's basic stuff but somehow I get stuck ...

Thanks

Herve
