In 3D mode open the Parts menu and choose the body. Cylinder is also on the 3D toolbar at the top.
Properties
- X, Y, Z and rx, ry, rz
- Position in metres and rotation in degrees about the axes.
- Diameter and height
- Sizes in metres.
- Material
- Colour, metalness, roughness and opacity.
- Physics
- The Physics tab: body type, mass, friction, bounce, initial velocities.
Tips
- For a wheel rotate the cylinder by 90° about X or Z.
- While spinning, a cylinder draws markers itself so the rotation is visible.
