Cylinder

A capped cylinder surface with a chosen center, direction, radius and height. The direction can be wired in as a 3-element array.

Inputs

None.

Added from the Parameters pane (⊕). While connected, each drives its parameter.

Port	Accepts	Mode	Description
`center` Center	primitive(array) dataset(stack) dataset(surface)	opt-in	center position; overrides the center parameter while connected
`direction` Direction	primitive(array)	opt-in	Direction as a 3-element array, read in the current direction frame; overrides the Direction row while connected
`radius`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `radius`	Drives the Radius parameter while connected
`height`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `height`	Drives the Height parameter while connected
`resolution`	primitive(number)	opt-in drives `resolution`	Drives the Resolution parameter while connected

dataset(surface)

The Parameters pane shows only the parameters relevant to the current settings.
