Cylinder by Height

 

To create a cylinder with the same height as another 3D object:

1.	Ensure that the Smart Points constraint is enabled (see Smart Points).

2.	In a 3D isometric view, click the Cylinder tool from the 3D Modeling tool set. Select the cylinder base drawing mode, and then select Snap Height mode.

The drawing procedure depends on the mode type selected (circle by radius, diameter, or three points).

3.	Click to set the center of the cylinder or to set the first point on the cylinder base diameter.

4.	Drag the mouse to the desired base radius or diameter and click to set. Or, if creating a cylinder by three points, drag the mouse and click to set the second point on the cylinder base, and click again to set the third point on the cylinder base.

5.	Using the Smart Points constraint, align the top of the cylinder with the top of another snap point on a 3D object that has the desired height.

6.	Click on the 3D object’s Smart Point to set the cylinder height.
