Put “rotate([0,0,45])” on the same line in front of “cylinder...”

Subject: [OpenSCAD] Rotating a cylinder along its own axis

Hello, all,

I want to create a squared pyramid.
I use the Cylinder function with $fn=4.
The solid obtained is rotated 45deg over the pyramid axis.
I cannot rotate it differently on this axis.

Am I doing wrong? Which alternate solution is possible?

cylinder(h=3,d1=3,d2=4,center=true,$fn=4);

Thanks for any idea on this.

RV
