REVOLVE

Creates solids by revolving two-dimensional objects about an axis.

 

Specify:

1 Axis of revolution - Object / X / Y / <Start point of axis>

    • Object - select an existing line or line segment

    • X - uses the positive X axis

    • Y - uses the positive Y axis

    • <Start point of axis> - specify a point
      <End point of axis> - specify a second point

2 Angle of revolution <full circle>

You can revolve polygons, circles, ellipses, and closed splines. You can revolve only one object at a time.

The right-hand rule determines the direction of rotation. The positive direction is:

  • Object - from the closest to the farthest endpoint of the line

  • X - positive X axis direction

  • Y - positive Y axis direction

  • Specified axis - from the first point to the second point

Specify the angle of revolution in degrees.
