geometry_cylinder index x_0 y_0 z_0 x_1 y_1 z_1 radius tolerance

This data item defines a cylinder segment in space. Other data items can check if nodes are located on this geometry. The coordinate of the center point at the bottom is x_0 y_0 z_0. The coordinate of the center point at the top is x_1 y_1 z_1. The cylinder can only be used in 3D. All node within a distance tolerance of the radius are considered to be part of the cylinder.
