It’s generally a bad idea to use thicken anyway, since it sometimes has a nasty habit of generating tiny invisible patches along the joins between the visible ones, which can cause compiling problems are a real pain to find and get rid of. Capping a cone can do the same thing. You’re better off creating the extra patches manually. It doesn’t take much longer if you’re familiar with editing patches, and it is safer.
