Sheet medal conversion issues

I am trying to make a conversion from a revolute extrusion, however it does not want to make the part i need.
I need the outside of the part shown in the picture.
Anyone know how I can still get the outside into a sheet metal part or any other way to design it?

Conic sheet metal is coming in the next update or two. Technically it's already possible to convert sheet metal cones but isn't currently exposed to users through the normal sheet metal tool. I've got my own custom copy of the sheet metal tool that allows cones but it's less stable because I removed all of the error protection to allow the kernel to accept a conic face as an input. The stability issues and compatibility with other sheet metal tools is probably the reason they haven't made it live yet to the public.
