AI Drawing Prompt Reference
Draw a three-dimensional solid representing a fraction of a cylinder, composed of two stacked segments with different heights. The shape includes a curved lateral surface formed by rotation, and circular top and bottom faces. The lower segment has a smaller height, while the upper segment is taller, illustrating a proportional division. Construct the lateral surface first, then add the circular end caps, ensuring smooth continuous surfaces. The overall form is a partial cylinder with visible curved sides and flat circular bases.
