Cylinder

A solid cylinder around the line from a start point to an end point. Its ends are flat, or rounded into half-spheres.

Inputs

Start Point

Center of the first end, from a wire; replaces the typed value.

Takes: any block that gives Point (13 blocks)
End Point

Center of the second end, from a wire; replaces the typed value.

Takes: any block that gives Point (13 blocks)
Radius Number

Radius, from a wire; replaces the typed value.

End style Choice

How each end is closed. Flat: cut square to the axis at the end point, so the cylinder is exactly as long as its two points are apart. Round: a half-sphere of the cylinder's radius centered on the end point, so the solid reaches one radius past each end — a cutter that goes cleanly through a thin wall.

Output

Solid

Used by: any block that takes Solid (95 blocks)

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

Solid Solid

The cylinder as a Solid.

Axis Axis

The line through the centers of both end caps.

StartPoint Point

Center of the first end cap.

EndPoint Point

Center of the second end cap.

Radius Number

The cylinder's radius.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The axis-aligned extent of the cylinder.

ScalarField Number

The cylinder's signed distance, as a field.
