Dear all,

is there a way to update the arc of a cylinder dynamically?  
[https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QANVC6#2240](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#QANVC6#2240)

Something like e.g. change options & trigger update of the mesh?

Best & many thanks in advance  
Andreas

Not directly. Create a new cylinder and dispose of the old one.
