Was it maybe something to do with the way it shades? There used to be a
problem where the tip of the cone was only the one point so it used to try
and shade smoothly around the tip. Workaround was to build your own cone
using a sweep around axis. Still shades pretty crap though. If it's a
surface, try setting the stepsize way up high.

Kim,
I remember you once gave a good explanation of a geometric problem with the
XSI cone primitive. What was it?
