Draw cone in rviz

I want to draw a 3D cone in rviz from the center of my quad-copter to the ends of the obstacle. Rviz allows only basic shapes http://wiki.ros.org/rviz/DisplayTypes/Marker. Is there any way out? Thanks in advance!

You should check out Dave Coleman's rviz_visual_tools library, it's pretty sweet and supports cones and a bunch of other shapes.

Yes it gives the option to draw cone. But how can I set the apex and cone's base centrer and radius in this?
