Defines a right circular cylinder
IvCylinder instances can be positioned using constraints or by positioning their local coordinate system Frame . The behavior is selected by the ignorePosition? parameter, which if true (the default) selects constraint-based positioning.
IvCylinder's height can be defined alternatively by specifying top and bottom points , which form the centers of the respective faces. This in turn defines the axis of the cylinder. However, this positioning method requires ignorePosition? to be false .

Cylinder
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Radius | number | The radius of the cylinder. The default value is 1.0 |
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Axis | vector | A vector defining the axis of the cylinder. The default is UnitZ. This parameter only applies if ignorePosition? is false . |
| Closed? | boolean | If false , a cylindrical is created instead of a solid. The default is true . |
| Diameter | number | The Diameter of the cylinder. This is an alternative to radius. If not supplied, this value can still be evaluated as an attribute. |
| Height | number | The distance between the two ends of the cylinder. The default value is 1.0 |
| bottomPoint | point | A point defining the bottom point of the cylinder. If not supplied, this value can still be evaluated as an attribute. This parameter only applies if ignorePosition? is false . |
| topPoint | point | A point defining the center of the top face of the cylinder. If not supplied, this value can still be evaluated as an attribute. The parameter only applies if ignorePosition? is false . |
