radius_body

Maximum/uniform radius (m).

length_radius_ratio

Optional ratio input when radius is not explicitly known.

taper

Optional input that is the degree of taper to round ends of the cylinder.

n_segments

Number of segments to discretize object shape. Defaults to 1e2 segments.

length_units

Units (default is meters, "m").
