Cool, I like, I like.
The only thing I can think of that would make this complete (IMO) is adding
a height calculator for the cones. Somewhere you enter the total height,
and it gives you the height scalars for the individual cones. Shouldn't be
too hard, once you calculate the lateral scalars.
Prior to this, I just used a guess and iterate process to find the
appropriate combinations. This is so much handier. Thanks!
