There are two options for creating a Cylinder node.#

  • The first way to create a Cylinder node is using the search list, which is opened by double left-clicking in the workspace. You can write the name of the node you need, or words associated with this node.
    • cylinder
  • The second way is to select a Cylinder node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Solid > Cylinder

Steps#

  • Create a Cylinder node.
  • Connect the center point of the base of the cylinder to the first port.
  • The second port gets the radius of the cylinder.
  • The third port receives the height of the cylinder.

After creating the node, connect the center of the base of the cylinder to the first port. Connect the radius of the cylinder to the second port and the height of the cylinder to the third port. On the output port, we will get the resulting cylinder.
