Searching this forum brings up a few links which might be of interest to you:

The easiest way to plot a circular cylinder sure is to use Mathcads feature to use cylindrical coordinates instead of cartesian. Next easier is the use of a simple parametric represenration - both shown in the attached file. You may also use CreateMesh, plot a matrix or do it by other means. It all depends upon your needs.
