Summary :
Blending a cone and a plane:
    - 
    Always possible (with a single blending surface) if the cone's vertex 
    is pointing towards the plane. 
    
 - 
    Not always possible to do it, with a single blending surface, when the 
    cone's apes is pointing away; but it is always possible if we use more 
    than one cyclide.
