Hi, myCylinder[{x1_, y1_, z1_}, {x2_, y2_, z2_}, r_] := ParametricPlot3D[ {r*Cos[phi] + x1*(1 - t) - t*x2, r*Sin[phi] + y1*(1 - t) - t*y2, z1*(1 - t) - t*z2}, {phi, 0, 2Pi}, {t, 0, 1} ] and myCylinder[{0, 0, 0}, {2, 2, 5}, 0.1] Regards Jens <ibmichuco at hotmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ddf5rs$opb$1 at smc.vnet.net... | Hi, | | Is there a simple way to draw a cylinder connecting 2 vectors?
