 * 2) There are several ways to invoke the command:
 * 3) * Press the button in the toolbar.
 * 4) * Select entry from the top menu

The cylinder properties can later be edited, either in the Property editor or by double-clicking the cylinder in the Tree view.



Properties

 * : This is the rotation angle that permits the creation of a portion of cylinder (it is set to 360° by default)
 * : The height is the distance in the z-axis
 * : The radius defines a plane in x-y.
 * : Angle in first direction.
 * : Angle in second direction.

Scripting
The Cylinder command can by used in macros and from the python console using the following function:


 * Where "myCylinder" is the label for the Cylinder object.
