14 With the help of `decorations.markings` you can add anything at any position along the path.

7 In the `|-` and `-|`, midway refers to the corner, regardless of how long the horizontal and vertical stretches really are. You will need then `pos=0.25` or `pos=0.75` to put something in the middle of the vertical or horizontal stretches, respectively, i.e. `pos=0.25` in the example you posted.

How to draw an arc between two points on sphere with 3dtools? 22

10 In very principle it is not a hard problem. One only has to switch to an appropriate plane, and draw a circle. In this plane, the arc can be parametrized as

How to draw a cone that height does not perpendicular to xy plane?

10 I can currently only answer the first part of the question. It is as simple as finding an appropriate coordinate system, in which the z-axis points into the direction of axis of the cone.

Drawing four squares fitted inside a circle 24

16 Although I shared my ConTeXt/MetaPost solution in the chat and marmot magnificently [adapted part of it in TikZ](https://topanswers.xyz/tex?q=1719#a1940), I'll post a cleaner version for LaTeX (1) so it won't be lost in comments and (2) just in case any eventual MetaPost user in LaTeX may find it useful.

14 This draws such a picture. However, it does not answer the question how to construct the smallest circle that fits the boxes. Rather, it relies on the user selecting the three relevant coordinates.

Draw a pyramid of cylinder, frustum, and a cone
Anonymous 1123 Anonymous 1123
9 In this case one can just use some combination of cones and arcs.

12 It is not very difficult to make this a macro.

Is this a correct figure about a cone inscribed a sphere? 3

10 I believe GeoSpace is correct, at least under usual assumptions that make orthographic projections a good approximation. I further believe that the picture from the internet is not entirely correct.

10 The main message is that you basically answered the question yourself by computing the critical angles of visibility for the larger cone. The same angles can be used for the smaller cone on the top.

10 I do not think that it will be fun to make this work for all possible view angles, but for those similar to your screen shot it is not too difficult.
