guso78_ when using that measure tool - is there a way to find the length of a chamfered cylinder? Because you can't select a face and it will always take the offset into account
<J25k81>
you can use edges near the diameter and if they cross you get that - but that isn't always the case and when having a tube it is impossible

<ed_>
i suspect the answer to this is "no" but is it possible to turn an object into a poly? i'd like to avoid repeating complex calculations, and save the result so i could call polyhedron with the previous output
<ed_>
a longshot, and probably better ways exist
<ed_>
in simple terms, can cylinder return a set of points, which i could feed into polyhedron?

geometry is cached, so if you have a module called with the same arguments, it's not regenerated
<teepee>
as for geometry->points that only exists as prototype, not in any version that is ready to install
