Pipe wrong dimensions (?)

[Anonymous]

Hi there!

I'm not completely new to Maya, since I've been using it for some time now, but I'm nowhere an expert.

Anyway, I noticed only yesterday that when I create a polygon pipe (the cylinder with a hole, just to be more clear) the height seems not to match what the channel box indicates.

For example, I created a 3cm height cylinder and a 3cm height pipe. When I moved one close to the other, I noticed they weren't the same size! After twicking the dimensions, I found out that I needed to double the pipe height to make them match.

You can see this in the pictures attached. Note: I am using Maya 2015; no scale was applied to either of them, and they have the same Z and X coordinates, so they're "just" side by side.

Am I missing something here, or is this actually some kind of bug?

Yes, that's funny , the pipe doesn't follow the scale rules.

Oh, that's odd.. 

Well, I think I just have to remember that, untill maybe it'll be fixed, right? Thanks!
