 Description The length of the cylinder is displayed between the points at which the component are connected in the model workspace. If you connect this shape to the frames of a single component, a cylinder shape is displayed over the implicit geometry that represents the component in the 3-D workspace. If you connect this component to the frames of two different modeling components, the cylinder shape spans multiple components.
