- Hi,
-
- In Explorer, a cylinder is defined by a beginning point, an ending point,
- and a radius.
-
- In Inventor, only the height and radius are specified.
-
- How do I emulate the action of the Explorer function call via Inventor?
- SoTransform with a translation and a rotation?
-
- Thanks,
- Dan
