Conic curves and surface

Hi Jamie, thanks for testing it and for the feedback!

I think I can probably cook up a conic curve command, I will give that a try.

But for conic blend, that probably would not really work for the regular Blend command (the blend between any 2 edges), since that will usually have cases where the endpoints and tangents that are being connected are not all in the same plane which is required in order to make a conic.

It would be possible as an option for Fillet for the cross-section shape, but that fillet shape is not currently supported "out of the box" with the geometry library that I'm using. It may be difficult for me to add that one anytime soon due to needing to also handle corner patches where fillets run into each other.

I definitely want to include this in the future. But I want to carefully plan the UI for it so that it may fit in with a variety of display options, so that's why this one probably won't be in for v2 though.
