And now when I create a cylinder it'll pop into that point right there. Now, we're gonna need a lot more sides to this because we can't smooth it. So what let's do is, let's go ahead and increase the number of vertices up to, say, 100. And we've got Triangle Fan selected here. So with that done I'll press R, Y, nine, zero, and I'll scale it in the X, so S, X and we'll scale this in. I think I will move this to the third layer M, three, and then go to the third layer and take a look at that. So now I can see it to scale it in on the X, and it looks to me like maybe about that thick, let's say? So I'll go to the side view and orthographic view and there we have it.
