I had tried many ways to use elements/objects to create a cylinder with top and bottom. The result always shows the elements do not display on the circle surface area. [image] [image]

When using THREE.Cylindrical you effectively work with cylindrical coordinates which can’t be used to compute points for the cylinder’s caps. I suggest you study how CylinderGeometry generates its caps and use a similar approach for your app.

Hi Mugen, Thank you for replying to my question yesterday. Actually, I also had used CylinderGeometry but I was struggling with the object position x, y, z [image] [image] Is there any simple way to solve the issue? As a beginner, I not familiar with threejs, and feel confused about adjust obj…

Thanks, prisoner, the objects have the perfect position to form a cylinder in every row, I looking for periodic table objects that will fill up the circle areas, there are no holes at the top and bottom.

@jaelchua Any reference or explanatory picture of how it has to look like?

I don’t have the picture, thanks for the help :grinning:
