From the help files in AutoCAD 2002:
[Warning! Because each modelling type uses a different method for
constructing 3D models and editing methods vary in their effect on the
different model types, it is recommended that you not mix modelling methods.
Limited conversion between model types is available from solids to surfaces
and from surfaces to wireframes; however, you cannot convert from wireframes
to surfaces or from surfaces to solids.]

I see that you figured out how to make your cone using 2 circles and a ruled
surface.

I'm working on this problem.
I create the 3DSOLID laying unter a bunch of 3dfaces, the 3DSOLID laying in
the direction of the xz-plane and the 3DSOLID laying in the direction of the
yz-plane. Then I create the resulting 3DSOLID using the INTERFERE-command.
This orks for SOLIDs which are unique to describe by these 3 views.
Send me a small problem - so I will test out my program on your example.
Regards
Jochen

Do a search on these forums for a lisp function called M2S.lsp. It will take a 3DMESH to a 3DSOLID. So far it only works for meshes.

under surfaces, you should have a option called surface stitching. that will
create a solid from the surfaces if thye are tight(closed). If not, emal me
the file and i will stitch it up for you in mechanical desktop or inventor.
