Description

Creates a simple parametric cylinder, with position, angle, radius and height parameters.

How to use

In the workbench Part click on the cube icon . The default is for a full cylinder to be positioned, the centre of one circular face coincident with the global origin (point 0,0,0), with a radius of 2mm and height of 10mm.

The properties can later be edited in the data tab for the cylinder:

a cylinder created with the Cylinder tool

Cylinder

  • Angle: The angle parameter permits the creation of a portion of cylinder (it is set to 360° by default)
  • Height: The height is the distance in the z-axis
  • Radius: The radius defines a plane in x-y.
