Hi, 

I have a question about setting a geometry object in MPB. I want to make a
tilted cylinder, a cylinder whose circular bases are parallel but not completely
overlapping when seen from the direction normal to bases. 

Specifically, I want to ask if it is possible to make such a tilted cylindrical
rod with finite height. (On the discussions, I could find a comment by Dr.Steven
that we can utilize 'ellipsoid' class to make a cylinder of infinite height) 

Thanks,
