Anyway, my first object is the cue used in billards and pool. It was easy to get the shape, I made a cone then segmented using knife and cut off the top part. My question is, how do I cap the 2 ends of the cue? Is there a quick way or do I have to manually create a disc and slip it on to the two ends?
