Amount: Amount of cylinders in the searched part

Diameter / Length:

Example: Inner cylinder - length and diameter

Example: Outer cylinder - length and diameter

Orientation:

Sweep angle defines the rotation around the cylinder's main axis (in direction of length), which spans the cylinder surface. With this you can search for cylindrical sections, e.g. full cylinder (angle = 360°), half cylinder (angle = 180°), quarter cylinder (angle = 90°).

Example of inner cylinder - Sweep angle 180° (half cylinder)

Example of outer cylinder - Sweep angle 180° (half cylinder)

Inner cone 2D

Sweep angle defines the rotation around the cone's main axis (in direction of length), which spans the cone's surface. With this you can search for sections of cones, e.g. full cone (angle = 360°), half cone (angle = 180°), quarter cone (angle = 90°).

Example: Inner cone - Sweep angle 90° (quarter cone)
