Cylinder Volume



A cylinder volume is a rotationally symmetric volume defined by 3 parameters:

Parameter # Description Face Name Face #
1 The radius of the front circular aperture. Front 1
2 The length along the local Z axis of the cylinder. Side Faces 0
3 The radius of the rear circular aperture. Back 2

This object is very similar to the cylinder pipe, except the front and rear faces are included to make the shape a closed volume. Because the object is a closed volume, it may be reflective, refractive, or absorbing.

The reference coordinate is the center of the front aperture. Face Numbers: Front face Face 1, back face Face 2, all other faces Face 0.
