A circular cylinder with optional edge rounding on the rim.

![Cylinder](../../assets/cylinder.webp)

## Parameters

- **Radius**: cap radius (default `1.0`)
- **Depth**: height along the local Z axis (default `2.0`)
- **Rounding + Profile**: applies to the top/bottom rim
- **Chamfer Smooth** *(Profile = Chamfer)*: softens where the chamfer meets the faces

## Notes

The rounding control affects only the two rims, so a cylinder with heavy rounding reads as a pill viewed side-on rather than a rounded-corner tube.
