      My questions are:



      1. How can I draw some generators (not CB, CG, CD) of the cone?

      2. How can I view the cube with different angles?

          TikZ does not have a 3d engine, so one has to distinguish many cases. I hope this does not contain too many bugs. (There is also something that keeps track of the bounding boxes, meaning you have to compile the file twice.)

              TikZ does not have a 3d engine, so one has to distinguish many cases. I hope this does not contain too many bugs. (There is also something that keeps track of the bounding boxes, meaning you have to compile the file twice.)

                TikZ does not have a 3d engine, so one has to distinguish many cases. I hope this does not contain too many bugs. (There is also something that keeps track of the bounding boxes, meaning you have to compile the file twice.)
