Description

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

Usage

Switch to the Part Workbench
There are several ways to invoke the command:
- Press the Cylinder button in the toolbar.
- Select 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.

The cylinder properties can later be edited. Either in the properties or by double-clicking on the cylinder in he model tree.

Properties

DataAngle: The angle parameter permits the creation of a portion of cylinder (it is set to 360° by default)
DataHeight: The height is the distance in the z-axis
DataRadius: The radius defines a plane in x-y.
DataFirst Angle: angle in first direction. introduced in version 0.20
DataSecond Angle: angle in second direction. introduced in version 0.20
