Construct a parametric conical surface, and a parametric plane to make a vertical slice. The edge of the cut is a parabolic curve. Revolve that to make a fully parameterized parabolic surface. Create another parametric plane a distance C below the vertex and tilted at 45 degrees. Use this plane to slice out the fully parametric off-axis reflector.
