CylinderShape3D
===============

**Inherits:** :ref:`Shape3D<class_Shape3D>` **<** :ref:`Resource<class_Resource>` **<** :ref:`RefCounted<class_RefCounted>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Cylinder shape for 3D collisions.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

Cylinder shape for collisions. Like :ref:`CapsuleShape3D<class_CapsuleShape3D>`, but without hemispheres at the cylinder's ends.

\ **Note:** There are several known bugs with cylinder collision shapes. Using :ref:`CapsuleShape3D<class_CapsuleShape3D>` or :ref:`BoxShape3D<class_BoxShape3D>` instead is recommended.

\ **Performance:** Being a primitive collision shape, **CylinderShape3D** is fast to check collisions against (though not as fast as :ref:`SphereShape3D<class_SphereShape3D>`). **CylinderShape3D** is also more demanding compared to :ref:`CapsuleShape3D<class_CapsuleShape3D>`.
