## Cylinder class

Parameterized Cylinder.
It can also be used to represent the cone when one of radiusTop/radiusBottom is zero.



**Inheritance:** [`Cylinder`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/cylinder) → 
[`Primitive`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed.entities/primitive) → 
[`Entity`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed/entity) → 
[`SceneObject`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed/sceneobject) → 
[`A3DObject`](/3d/python-net/aspose.threed/a3dobject)
