Object Properties
Radius
Denes the object’s radius.
Cap Height
This controls the cap curvature. A value of 0 produces at caps. You can set values up to the same value
as the Radius. For hemispherical caps, set the Cap Height to the same value as Radius. In contrast to
the cone and capsule, the transition from the cylinder barrel to the cap is always sharp, the exception
being if you have set the Cap Height to the maximum value.
Height
The overall length (the body plus the caps) of the oil tank.
Height Segments
Denes the number of subdivisions of the object in the lengthwise direction (cylindrical part only).
Cap Segments
The subdivision level of the caps in a radial direction.
