Using your 1-4con1.dat, here's the cone you requested:
1 16 0 1.317 0 1.943 0 0 0 1.317 0 0 0 1.943 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 3.836 0 3.8 0 0 0 2.577 0 0 0 3.8 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 8.175 0 7 0 0 0 4.746 0 0 0 7 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 12.243 0 10 0 0 0 6.78 0 0 0 10 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 1.317 0 -1.943 0 0 0 1.317 0 0 0 1.943 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 3.836 0 -3.8 0 0 0 2.577 0 0 0 3.8 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 8.175 0 -7 0 0 0 4.746 0 0 0 7 1-4con1.DAT
1 16 0 12.243 0 -10 0 0 0 6.78 0 0 0 10 1-4con1.DAT
But I'm not sure that's exactly the cone you need. As I see it, the cone you
need should cover the area between the edge lines:
2 24 -20 -8 -30 -4.243 -8 -44.243
and
2 24 20 -8 -30 4.243 -8 -44.243
So I think you need a cone from radius 20 to radius 4.243 over a y of 14.243.
Plug the above cone into your part and see if you agree. If so I'll work up
this above cone tommorrow. It's 10PM here and finally time for me to leave the
office.
