Namespace:  Rhino.Geometry
Assembly:  RhinoCommon (in RhinoCommon.dll)
Since: 5.0

	double tolerance
)
Public Function TryGetCylinder ( 
	<OutAttribute> ByRef cylinder As Cylinder,
	tolerance As Double
) As Boolean

Parameters

cylinder
Type: Rhino.GeometryCylinder
On success, the cylinder parameters are filled in.
tolerance
