/Column

/Column describes a solid cylinder. Its height extends along the z axis. The top circle is on plane z = +dz, and the bottom circle on plane z = -dz. Centers of the top and bottom circles are (0, 0, +dz) and (0, 0, -dz), respectively. /Column is equivalent to /Tubs with full azimuthal angle () and zero minimum radius.

Format /Column r dz
r radius of the top and bottom circles
dz half height along the z axis
