Cylinder
3D• Cylinder[axis, rad, facets] generates a cylinder of radius rad spanning the length of axis, with the specified number of facets.
• Cylinder[axis, rad1, rad2, facets] generates a conical or tapered cylinder with radius rad1 at the origin of axis, and a radius of rad2 at the end. • Cylinder returns a list of Mathematica graphics primitives that are functions of mechanism location variables.
• Either or both radii may be replaced with a list {rx, ry} to produce a cylinder with an elliptical cross section.
• The following options can be given:
• A value of 4 for facets yields a square bar,  across the flats.
• The Angle option allows a length-wise slice of the entire revolved bar to be drawn.
• See also: Revolve, Sphere, Wheel. Further Examples Load the Modeler3D package and define a simple model. Cylinder is used to draw several 3D bars on the crank body.
