The cone is used when the tool information is not known. My guess is that is the only thing it means, so really doesn't try to graphically represent anything. After giving John K's message some thought, it makes a lot of sense. It looks like the _view_ of the axes is changed such that the viewer is looking up from the bottom of the lathe so we are also looking at the bottom of the tool fan segments. It also makes sense to have a different color on the front and back of these segments. Looking at the source: http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=linuxcnc.git;a=blob;f=lib/python/rs274/glcanon.py;h=7eec004944df2e04ea21d6f6fd4ef89f91df1907;hb=HEAD line 345: 'lathetool': (0.80, 0.80, 0.80), Maybe play with these values. http://velociraptor.mni.fh-giessen.de/OpenGL/TulaneGL/Changing_State.html It may also be a problem with lighting. We may need to move or add a light.
