Description

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

Usage

Open the Part Workbench.
Invoke the Part Cylinder command several ways:
- Press the button in the toolbar
- Use the Part → Primitives → Cylinder entry from the top menu

Result: The default result is for a full cylinder is to be centered by one circular face coincident with the global origin (point 0,0,0), with a radius of 2mm and height of 10mm.

Options

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

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.

Cone

Sphere

Primitives: Box, Cylinder, Sphere, Cone, Torus, Tube, Create primitives, Shape builder

Creation and modification: Extrude, Revolve, Mirror, Fillet, Chamfer, Make face from wires, Ruled Surface, Loft, Sweep, Section, Cross sections, 3D Offset, 2D Offset, Thickness, Projection on surface, Attachment

Boolean: Make compound, Explode Compound, Compound Filter, Boolean, Cut, Fuse, Common, Connect, Embed, Cutout, Boolean fragments, Slice apart, Slice, XOR
