I'd like to combine several 3D graphics, but the interface, indicated by the arrow in the figure attached between them is alway present. How to eliminate it? Thanks in advance.

Here is my example:

  Graphics3D[{
      {EdgeForm[None], Opacity[0.1], Gray, 
       Cylinder[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}}, 0.5]}, 
      {EdgeForm[None], CapForm["Butt"], Opacity[0.1], Gray, 
       Tube[{{0, 2, 0}, {0, 3, 0}}, {0.5, 0.2}]},

      }, ViewPoint -> {0.8677796780444739`, 2.2396029175520074`, 
       2.383513625315694`}, 
     ViewVertical -> {-2.366747875495254`, -0.028635050478789906`, 
       1.8415006920431496`}, Boxed -> False]

  • $\begingroup$ My guess is that this is not possible using Cylinder or Tube primitives. BTW running your code produces a different image than the one you posted. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @YvesKlett, you mean the arrow that I added using mspaint? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Not the arrow, but the right part is also a regular cylinder, and not a truncated cone. Interestingly, this is done by EdgeForm["Butt"]. Without it, the object shows correctly as a cone (though with a rounded end). $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @YvesKlett,@István Zachar, my figure is obtained in Ver. 8.0. It shows differently in ver.9, as is pointed out by István Zachar. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @YvesKlett,@István Zachar, I think it is a bug for ver.9.0. You can see the same case in the documents by searching "Cone" in the help browser, and entering "Properties & relations". $\endgroup$

Or perhaps you want this (two tubes):

Graphics3D[{
  EdgeForm[None],
  CapForm[None],
  Opacity[0.1],
  Gray,
  Tube[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}}, 0.5],
  Tube[{{0, 2, 0}, {0, 3, 0}}, {0.5, 0.2}]
  },
 ViewPoint -> {0.86, 2.2, 2.3},
 ViewVertical -> {-2.3, 0.0, 1.8},
 Boxed -> False]

quicker by tube

    $\begingroup$ Why not a single tube? Tube[{{0, 0, 0}, {0, 2, 0}, {0, 3, 0}}, {0.5, 0.5, 0.2}] $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Simon Woods, yes, it is the simplest way. $\endgroup$
