I only mentioned cylinders for Sketchup, don't assume that I meant all of it.

Oh, so you simply mean ignorance of how to use the program?

You can CHOOSE how many faces you want for the cylinder. -_-

6-sided Cylinder:


8-Sided Cylinder:


10-sided Cylinder:


1000000-sided Cylinder:


Derp.

The version of Sketchup I last used didn't have that option. I'm guessing this was updated.

SketchUp version FOUR has it. That version was released in the early 2000s/late 1990's. :/ We are at version NINE now, and I use v7. :/

Use the polygon tool. Type any number above 3 and then an s and press return with your cursor in the rendering window to change the number. And if I remember correctly it does the same thing with the circle tool as well.

Ah, I didn't really see those features in that Sketchup then, the circle tool seemed like the only option for a cylinder back when I used to use it.
