Dear Abhinav,

> Is there a simple way of generating a solid 3D cylinder with given radius 'r' and height 'h' . I want to build the cylinder and then orient it in 5 different orientations by tilting the axis at different angles. (say 0, 30,45,60,90).

Go to the FileExchange and search for "cylinder" to find a bunch of ideas.

Good luck, Jan
