Cylinder height?

[Anonymous]

How to get the height of a cylinder using API? If it is a full cylinder I can get the height by using the area from API. But i am having cut cylinders(cut along the height) so what can be the way to get the height/depth of the cylinder? .

One way to do this is to obtain the two ends of the cylinder as either Edge or EdgeProxy objects and then cast those to 'Circle' types. Now you can use the 'Center' property of the 'Circle' objects to get the distance. 

c# example with units conversion:

    double depth = m_Application.UnitsOfMeasure.ConvertUnits(circle.Center.DistanceTo(circle2.Center), "cm", "in");
