AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a cone and observe the geometric shapes formed by its cross-sections through different planes. First, create two points D and E on the z-axis, then draw a cone f with E as the base and D as the apex. Next, intersect a plane p with the cone f to obtain the cross-section k.
The prompt above was compiled from the original drawing commands and is for reference only.
