A cylinder is a shape with long straight sides and two circular (or roughly circular) ends, like a tube. They have a radius and a height.

Default cylinder shape

Cylinder without the smoothing

Cylinder with a height of 3 and 16 sides

Cylinder with a radius of 4 and 10 subdivisions

You can customize the shape of a cylinder with these shape properties:

Property:	Description:
Radius	Set the radius (width) of the cylinder in meters. The default value is 0.5. The minimum value is 0.01.
Number of Sides	Set the number of sides for the cylinder. The more sides you use (relative to the size of the Radius), the smoother the sides of the cylinder become. The default value is 8. Valid values range from 4 to 48.
Height	Set the height of the cylinder in meters. The default value is 1.
Height Segments	Set the number of divisions to use for the height of the cylinder. For example, a value of 3 produces 4 faces on every side of the cylinder. The default value is 0. Valid values range from 0 to 48.
Smooth	Enable this option to smooth the edges of the polygons. This is enabled by default.
