- Creates a solid cylinder or a (2D) circular polygon.
-
- 1. * (CHAR) plane of base circle (x-xy,y-yz,z-zx) <x>
- 2. * (POINT) center of base circle
- 3. * (NUM) radius of base circle
- for option `x':
- 4. * (NUM) height of cylinder
- for option `y' or `z':
- 4. * (NUM) length of cylinder
- for all options:
- 5. * (Y/N) positive cylinder? <y>
-
- Description:
- This command creates a 2D circular polygon or a solid cylinder based on the
- polygon.
- Specify one of the axial planes, (x xy plane, the default, y yz plane or
- z xz plane). Define the center of the base circle. Specify the radius, and
- the height (for option `x') or the width (for options `y' or `z'). You may
- enter `0' for a 2D polygon. Enter `y' for a positive solid or `n' for
- a negative one.
- You are prompted to create additional cylinders until another command is
- selected.
-
- Example: \pcyl x 3 3 0 4 1 y
-
- Result: A positive cylinder is created with the center of its base at 3 3 0,
- a radius of 4 units (meters or feet), and a height of 1 unit.
