Creation method#

There are two options for creating a Point Cylindrical node.#

  • The first way to create a Point Cylindrical 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.
    • point, construct, aR
  • The second way is to select a Point Cylindrical node from the menu that opens from the top left.
    • Menu > Tool > Vector > Point Cylindrical

Steps#

  • Create a Point Cylindrical node.
  • Connect the plane defining cylindrical coordinate space.
  • Connect the angle in radians for P(x,y) rotation.
  • Connect the radius of cylinder.
  • Connect the elevation of point.

Node returns a point from cylindrical {angle,radius,elevation} coordinates
