      Is there a way to set the number of sides on a cylinder?Also is there a way to enter a dimension to size a cylinder because no dimension is displayed at the bottom of the screen when making a cylinder with the cylinder tool. And if anyone knows how to stop the glitch in rotation when using Proper Animation,
      I often get a cylinder that rotates off of center and I dont know how to fix it.

        Question 1: When you press the Circle Tool there is a number in "Measurement" (that named "Sides" when cylinder tool is selected) box. That is the number of sides the circle will have. Just press how many sides the cylinder should have, before start making the circle.

        Question 2: When you start make a circle you the box that named "Sides" before will have the name "Radius", just press in the radius you want. Press Enter. Then use "Push Pull" tool and press on the cirle, and then press how high you want the cylinder.
        (then you can make a group)

        The other questions is out of my business, cause I don't use "Proper Animation".

          Thanks, I realize that I can set the dimension and sides for a cicle and then make a cylinder but what I would like to know is if it can be done using the cylinder tool.
