Purpose¶

The module SoCylinder represents a simple capped cylinder centered around the y-axis.

By default, the cylinder is centered at (0, 0, 0) and has a size ranging from -1 to 1 in all three dimensions. You can use the Radius and Height fields to create a cylinder with different dimensions.

Height: Float

Parts: String

Radius: Float

Sections: Integer

Sides: Integer

Visible Fields¶

Parts¶

name: parts, type: String, default: ALL¶: Sets the visible parts of the cylinder; value are SIDES, TOP, BOTTOM, and ALL. Default is ALL.

Radius¶

name: radius, type: Float, default: 1¶: Sets the radius of the cylinder.

Height¶

name: height, type: Float, default: 2¶: Sets the height of the cylinder.

Sides¶

name: sides, type: Integer, default: 0¶

Sets the number of sides for the tessellation of the cylinder.

A default value of 0 means that the tessellation is auto-calculated based on the module SoComplexity. A value greater than 0 will force the module to always use that specified number of sides.

Sections¶

name: sections, type: Integer, default: 0¶

Sets the number of sections for the tessellation of the cylinder.
