Create a T-Spline cylinder

Learn how to use the Cylinder tool to create a T-Spline body in the shape of a primitive cylinder in Fusion.

1. In the Design workspace, Form contextual environment, select Create > Cylinder .

   The Cylinder dialog displays.

2. In the canvas, select a plane or planar face.

3. Click to place a center point on the plane.

4. Click to place the outer edge of the cylinder or enter an exact value to specify the Diameter.

   A preview of the T-Spline body displays in the canvas.

5. Specify the Height of the cylinder:

   • Drag the distance manipulator handle in the canvas.
   • Enter an exact value in the dialog.

6. Specify the number of Diameter Faces and Height Faces on the cylinder:

   • Drag the quantity manipulator handles in the canvas.
   • Enter exact values in the dialog.

7. Select a Direction option:

   • One Side: Creates cylinder size in one direction, relative to the starting plane.
   • Symmetric: Creates cylinder size symmetrically, relative to the starting plane.

8. Select a Symmetry option:

   • None
   • Mirror: Adds mirror symmetry to the cylinder for future edits.
     • Length Symmetry: Mirrors along the Z axis.
     • Width Symmetry: Mirrors along the X axis.
     • Height Symmetry: Mirrors along the Y axis.
   • Circular: Adds circular symmetry to the cylinder for future edits.
     • Symmetric Faces: Specify the number of symmetric faces around the axis of the cylinder.

9. Select an Operation option:

   • New Body
   • New Component (Direct Modeling mode only)

10. Click OK.
