Cylinder
Create a cylinder shape, or a segment of it.
Properties
- Radius
- The radius of the base face of the cylinder.
- Height
- The height of the cylinder measured from the pivot point in Z direction.
- Segment
-
If this value is smaller than 360°, a segment of the cylinder is built using the given angle.
Cylinder with Segment = 270°
Creating a Cylinder
The cylinder will be created with the base face on the working plane, so consider setting up the working plane before starting.
- Select Create Cylinder from ribbon menu.
- Select the center point of the base face of the cylinder on the working plane.
- Select any rim point of the base face of the cylinder on the working plane. This will define the radius.
- Select the height by picking a point on an axis running trough the last selected point.
Note
The pivot point is always set in the center of the base face such that the height is positive in the local coordination system of the cylinder.
