Step

Execute Ref. Geometry >> Create >> Cylinder >> Fit Region command as follows:

1. Select faces or vertices to be fit to cylinder. ( See Select >> Entities >> Vertex / Face )

2. Select Ref. Geometry >> Create >> Cylinder >> Fit Region from the menu or click the corresponding icon from the Reference toolbar.

3. The following dialog may appear.

Use Add Fitted Geometry option to best-fit a cylinder to the selected faces/vertices. Use Add Max. Bound Geometry option to create a maximum cylinder including all the selected faces/vertices. Use Add Min. Bound Geometry option to create a minimum cylinder which does not include all the selected faces/vertices. Use Remove Outlier option to fit a cylinder to the selected faces/vertices while excepting entities in the region out of standard deviation. Use Ref. Vector sets a given ref. vector as a initial guess for the vector of a primitive to be generated. Use Upper Bound Ref. Plane sets the position of a given ref. plane to the upper boundary of a primitive to be generated. Use Lower Bound Ref. Plane sets the position of a given ref. plane to the lower boundary of a primitive to be generated. Fix Axis sets the given ref. vector to a vector of a primitive to be generated. Fix Radius is used as a radius of a primitive to be generated.
4.Click Preview button and then click the Create button to create a cylinder.
