Creating Sideset with Patch Cylnder

Coreform Cubit
#1

I am using Coreform Cubit Version: 2024.3 on a windows machine

When trying to create a side set with the patch cylinder command I am met with the following:

ERROR: Cylinder not specified correctly in sideset patch command.

the command I am using to produce this error is the following:

sideset 1 surface all patch cylinder direction 0 0 1 location 1 1 0 outer_radius 0.25 inner_radius 0.025

am I incorrectly specifying my axis?

Thanks.

mesh vol 1
sideset 1 surface all patch cylinder direction 0 0 1 origin location 0.5 0.5 0 outer_radius 3 inner_radius 2
