A cylindrical surface is a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through a fixed plane curve in a plane not parallel to the given line. Any line in this family of parallel lines is called an element of the cylindrical surface. From a kinematics point of view, given a plane curve, called the directrix, a cylindrical surface is that surface traced out by a line, called the generatrix, not in the plane of the directrix, moving parallel to itself and always passing through the directrix. Any particular position of the generatrix is an element of the cylindrical surface.
A solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and two parallel planes is called a (solid) cylinder. The line segments determined by an element of the cylindrical surface between the two parallel planes is called an element of the cylinder. All the elements of a cylinder have equal lengths. The region bounded by the cylindrical surface in either of the parallel planes is called a base of the cylinder. The two bases of a cylinder are congruent figures. If the elements of the cylinder are perpendicular to the planes containing the bases, the cylinder is a right cylinder, otherwise it is called an oblique cylinder. If the bases are disks (regions whose boundary is a circle) the cylinder is called a circular cylinder. In some elementary treatments, a cylinder always means a circular cylinder.[2]
The cylinder obtained by rotating a line segment about a fixed line that it is parallel to is a cylinder of revolution. A cylinder of revolution is a right circular cylinder. The height of a cylinder of revolution is the length of the generating line segment. The line that the segment is revolved about is called the axis of the cylinder and it passes through the centers of the two bases.
The bare term cylinder often refers to a solid cylinder with circular ends perpendicular to the axis, that is, a right circular cylinder, as shown in the figure. The cylindrical surface without the ends is called an open cylinder. The formulae for the surface area and the volume of a right circular cylinder have been known from early antiquity.
A right circular cylinder can also be thought of as the solid of revolution generated by rotating a rectangle about one of its sides. These cylinders are used in an integration technique (the "disk method") for obtaining volumes of solids of revolution.[3]
A cylindric section is the intersection of a cylinder's surface with a plane. They are, in general, curves and are special types of plane sections. The cylindric section by a plane that contains two elements of a cylinder is a parallelogram.[4] Such a cylindric section of a right cylinder is a rectangle.[4]
A cylindric section in which the intersecting plane intersects and is perpendicular to all the elements of the cylinder is called a right section.[5] If a right section of a cylinder is a circle then the cylinder is a circular cylinder. In more generality, if a right section of a cylinder is a conic section (parabola, ellipse, hyperbola) then the solid cylinder is said to be parabolic, elliptic and hyperbolic, respectively.
For a right circular cylinder, there are several ways in which planes can meet a cylinder. First, planes that intersect a base in at most one point. A plane is tangent to the cylinder if it meets the cylinder in a single element. The right sections are circles and all other planes intersect the cylindrical surface in an ellipse.[6] If a plane intersects a base of the cylinder in exactly two points then the line segment joining these points is part of the cylindric section. If such a plane contains two elements, it has a rectangle as a cylindric section, otherwise the sides of the cylindric section are portions of an ellipse. Finally, if a plane contains more than two points of a base, it contains the entire base and the cylindric section is a circle.
The lateral area, L, of a circular cylinder, which need not be a right cylinder, is more generally given by L = e p , \displaystyle L=e\times p, where e is the length of an element and p is the perimeter of a right section of the cylinder.[9] This produces the previous formula for lateral area when the cylinder is a right circular cylinder.
A right circular hollow cylinder (or cylindrical shell) is a three-dimensional region bounded by two right circular cylinders having the same axis and two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the cylinders' common axis, as in the diagram.
In some areas of geometry and topology the term cylinder refers to what has been called a cylindrical surface. A cylinder is defined as a surface consisting of all the points on all the lines which are parallel to a given line and which pass through a fixed plane curve in a plane not parallel to the given line.[12] Such cylinders have, at times, been referred to as generalized cylinders. Through each point of a generalized cylinder there passes a unique line that is contained in the cylinder.[13] Thus, this definition may be rephrased to say that a cylinder is any ruled surface spanned by a one-parameter family of parallel lines.
A cylinder having a right section that is an ellipse, parabola, or hyperbola is called an elliptic cylinder, parabolic cylinder and hyperbolic cylinder, respectively. These are degenerate quadric surfaces.[14]
If AB > 0 this is the equation of an elliptic cylinder.[15] Further simplification can be obtained by translation of axes and scalar multiplication. If ρ \displaystyle \rho has the same sign as the coefficients A and B, then the equation of an elliptic cylinder may be rewritten in Cartesian coordinates as: ( x a ) 2 + ( y b ) 2 = 1. \displaystyle \left(\frac xa\right)^2+\left(\frac yb\right)^2=1. This equation of an elliptic cylinder is a generalization of the equation of the ordinary, circular cylinder (a = b). Elliptic cylinders are also known as cylindroids, but that name is ambiguous, as it can also refer to the Plcker conoid.
In projective geometry, a cylinder is simply a cone whose apex (vertex) lies on the plane at infinity. If the cone is a quadratic cone, the plane at infinity (which passes through the vertex) can intersect the cone at two real lines, a single real line (actually a coincident pair of lines), or only at the vertex. These cases give rise to the hyperbolic, parabolic or elliptic cylinders respectively.[17]
A solid circular cylinder can be seen as the limiting case of a n-gonal prism where n approaches infinity. The connection is very strong and many older texts treat prisms and cylinders simultaneously. Formulas for surface area and volume are derived from the corresponding formulas for prisms by using inscribed and circumscribed prisms and then letting the number of sides of the prism increase without bound.[18] One reason for the early emphasis (and sometimes exclusive treatment) on circular cylinders is that a circular base is the only type of geometric figure for which this technique works with the use of only elementary considerations (no appeal to calculus or more advanced mathematics). Terminology about prisms and cylinders is identical. Thus, for example, since a truncated prism is a prism whose bases do not lie in parallel planes, a solid cylinder whose bases do not lie in parallel planes would be called a truncated cylinder.

You can make your cylinder as a solid, and then create a solid cube to the measurements you require for the rectangle. Apply the solid tool for intersecting and place the rectangle solid in the tube where you want it and click the appropriate solid tool to create the desired result.
The only difference between the GUI and the Ruby API in this respect is that SketchUp always does the cleanup immediately on completion of an operation in the GUI whereas depending on how your API calls are written it may delay the cleanup until a call that provokes it.
Hi, I am back with Sketchup after big break. I am drawing a furniture and I need to add dimension to a cylinder. All I can do is to add the diameter into a circle, but I cannot move the dimension outside the cylinder so it is not visible when shades of sides are visible. So how can I add the dimension to cylinder to be visible outside of it?
Box, thanks for your animation. I have updated the post and added a photo. So the problem is that the diameter will not be visible because it is under the cylinder. I tried your trick to place the DIA text outside. And it is visible now. Yet Is it possible to change the DIA text for sign of the diameter ? Using Sketchup 8 on Windows XP 32bit.
I found a workaround by creating a new circle curve at the desired diameter, centering it at the end of the cylinder, then using Scale2-D to transform the cylinder and having it snap to the new curve.
Understanding the underlying geometry of a curve helps too.
Curves are actually a bunch of flat faces masquerading as a curve.
Turn on hidden geometry and you can work between the lines as they are single faces.
Then I select the outside and inside of the horizontal cylinder, Reverse Faces, Select the inside and outside of both cylinders and Intersect Faces With Selection. That lets me delete the faces I need to to get to the tee shape. I have to reverse the faces of the new cylinder again to clean it up:

It sounds like you are getting the rotation point just off axis.
Here you can see I click and drag to set the rotation to the red axis.
Click drag and release to set it then click and release to begin the rotation and a final click and release to end the rotation.
