CSGCylinder3D
=============

**Inherits:** :ref:`CSGPrimitive3D<class_CSGPrimitive3D>` **<** :ref:`CSGShape3D<class_CSGShape3D>` **<** :ref:`GeometryInstance3D<class_GeometryInstance3D>` **<** :ref:`VisualInstance3D<class_VisualInstance3D>` **<** :ref:`Node3D<class_Node3D>` **<** :ref:`Node<class_Node>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

A CSG Cylinder shape.

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

This node allows you to create a cylinder (or cone) for use with the CSG system.

\ **Note:** CSG nodes are intended to be used for level prototyping. Creating CSG nodes has a significant CPU cost compared to creating a :ref:`MeshInstance3D<class_MeshInstance3D>` with a :ref:`PrimitiveMesh<class_PrimitiveMesh>`. Moving a CSG node within another CSG node also has a significant CPU cost, so it should be avoided during gameplay.

Property Descriptions
---------------------

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_cone:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **cone**

+-----------+-----------------+
| *Default* | ``false``       |
+-----------+-----------------+
| *Setter*  | set_cone(value) |
+-----------+-----------------+
| *Getter*  | is_cone()       |
+-----------+-----------------+

If ``true`` a cone is created, the :ref:`radius<class_CSGCylinder3D_property_radius>` will only apply to one side.

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_height:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **height**

+-----------+-------------------+
| *Default* | ``2.0``           |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_height(value) |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_height()      |
+-----------+-------------------+

The height of the cylinder.

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_material:

- :ref:`Material<class_Material>` **material**

+----------+---------------------+
| *Setter* | set_material(value) |
+----------+---------------------+
| *Getter* | get_material()      |
+----------+---------------------+

The material used to render the cylinder.

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_radius:

- :ref:`float<class_float>` **radius**

+-----------+-------------------+
| *Default* | ``0.5``           |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_radius(value) |
+-----------+-------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_radius()      |
+-----------+-------------------+

The radius of the cylinder.

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_sides:

- :ref:`int<class_int>` **sides**

+-----------+------------------+
| *Default* | ``8``            |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_sides(value) |
+-----------+------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_sides()      |
+-----------+------------------+

The number of sides of the cylinder, the higher this number the more detail there will be in the cylinder.

----

.. _class_CSGCylinder3D_property_smooth_faces:

- :ref:`bool<class_bool>` **smooth_faces**

+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Default* | ``true``                |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Setter*  | set_smooth_faces(value) |
+-----------+-------------------------+
| *Getter*  | get_smooth_faces()      |
+-----------+-------------------------+

If ``true`` the normals of the cylinder are set to give a smooth effect making the cylinder seem rounded. If ``false`` the cylinder will have a flat shaded look.
