Surface Properties:

X / Y / Z Position/ Offset: Defines the central point on the upper surface.

Upper diameter: Defines the diameter of the upper surface.

Lower diameter: Defines the diameter of the lower surface.

Height: Defines the height of the cone.

Advanced:

Line Splitting Length: This parameter specifies the distance along a line after which a new point is generated and transformed on the 3D surface. Every individual line is split independently.

With more extreme angles for the projection, it might lead to better results to project from above, export the 3D vectors via CCI, and then rotate the vectors to the desired angle (see Marking on the side of a 3D surface).
