
## Cylinder or Cone
The created cylinder has its flat sides parallel to the xz plane with its origin at the center of the vertical line of symmetry. If you set _diameterTop_ to zero, you get a cone instead of a cylinder, with different values for _diameterTop_ and _diameterBottom_ you get a truncated cone.
## MeshBuilder
Usage :
```javascript
const cone = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateCylinder("cone", options, scene); //scene is optional and defaults to the current scene
```

arc|_(number)_ ratio of the circumference between 0 and 1|1
hasRings|_(boolean)_ makes the subdivisions independent from each other, so they become different faces|false
enclose|_(boolean)_ adds two extra faces per subdivision to a sliced cylinder to close it around its height axis|false

## Mesh
Usage :
```javascript
const cylinder = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateCylinder("cylinder", height, diameterTop, diameterBottom, tessellation, subdivisions, scene);
const cylinder = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateCylinder("cylinder", height, diameterTop, diameterBottom, tessellation, subdivisions, scene, updatable, sideOrientation); //optional parameters after scene
```


## Capsule
*Requires BJS version 4.2+*
The created capsule has its origin at the center of the capsule. The height minus the sum of the top and bottom radius must be > 0.

## MeshBuilder
Usage :
```javascript
const capsule = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateCapsule("ribbon", options, scene);  //scene is optional and defaults to the current scene
```

option|value|default value
--------|-----|-------------
orientation?|_(Vector3)_ Direction of the capsule upon inception. | Vector3.Up
subdivisions|_(number)_ Number of sub segments on the tube section of the capsule running parallel to orientation.| 2
tessellation|_(number)_  Number of cylindrical segments on the capsule.|16
height|_(number)_  Height or length of the capsule.|1
radius|_(number)_ Radius of the capsule.|0.25
capSubdivisions|_(number)_ Number of sub segments on the cap sections of the capsule running parallel to orientation.|6
radiusTop?|_(number)_  Overwrite for the top radius.
radiusBottom?|_(number)_  Overwrite for the bottom radius.
topCapSubdivisions?|_(number)_ Overwrite for the top capSubdivisions.
bottomCapSubdivisions?|_(number)_ Overwrite for the bottom capSubdivisions.

## Mesh
```javascript
const capsule = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateCapsule("ribbon", options, scene);  //scene is optional and defaults to the current scene
```
The same form as for *MeshBuilder*


## Sphere
The created sphere has its origin at the center of the sphere. By using different values for _diameterX_, _diameterY_ and diameterZ_ lead you create an ellipsoid.
## MeshBuilder
Example :
```javascript
const sphere = BABYLON.MeshBuilder.CreateSphere("sphere", options, scene); //scene is optional and defaults to the current scene
```

option|value|default value
--------|-----|-------------
segments|_(number)_ number of horizontal segments|32
diameter|_(number)_ diameter of the sphere|1
diameterX|_(number)_ diameter on X axis, overwrites _diameter_ option|diameter
diameterY|_(number)_ diameter on Y axis, overwrites _diameter_ option|diameter
diameterZ|_(number)_ diameter on Z axis, overwrites _diameter_ option|diameter
arc|_(number)_ ratio of the circumference (latitude) between 0 and 1|1
slice|_(number)_ ratio of the height (longitude) between 0 and 1|1
updatable|_(boolean)_ true if the mesh is updatable|false
sideOrientation|_(number)_ side orientation|DEFAULTSIDE
frontUVs|_(Vector4)_  **ONLY WHEN sideOrientation:BABYLON.Mesh.DOUBLESIDE set** | Vector4(0, 0, 1,1)
backUVs|_(Vector4)_  **ONLY WHEN sideOrientation:BABYLON.Mesh.DOUBLESIDE set** | Vector4(0, 0, 1,1)

## Mesh
Usage :
```javascript
const sphere = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere("sphere", segments, diameter, scene);
const sphere = BABYLON.Mesh.CreateSphere("sphere", segments, diameter, scene, updatable, sideOrientation); //optional parameters after scene
```

It is only possible to create a sphere with this method, for an ellipsoid you need to use scaling.
