In this video we explore two ways of creating a simple cone in sketchup.

METHOD 1
1. Create a circle (increase the number of sides on your circle to get a smoother cone)
2. Create a vertical triangular shape using the center of the circle and the edge of the circle.
3. Use the followme tool to move your triangular shape around your circle to create a cone.

METHOD 2
1. Create a circle (increase the number of sides on your circle to get a smoother cone)
2. Pull your circle to make a cylinder
3. Select the top face of the cylinder, hit 's' to scale.  While scaling, hold ctrl to scale uniformly and scale the top of the cylinder down into a conical shape.
