   **Cylinder** property panel

Input fields:

- **Point** defines the center of the cylinder base selected in 3D OCC  viewer or object browser; 
- **Vector** defines the axis of the cylinder selected in 3D OCC  viewer or object browser;
- Dimensions:      
   - **Radius**;
   - **Height**.    

**TUI Commands**:

.. py:function:: model.addCylinder(Part_doc, Point, Axis, Radius, Height)

    :param part: The current part object.
    :param object: Vertex.
    :param object: Axis.
    :param real: Radius.
    :param real: Height.
    :return: Result object.

Result
