Create Revolve Features Example (C#)

This example shows how to create revolve features.

//----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Preconditions:
// 1. Open a new part document.
// 2. Rename the namespace to match your C# project.
//
// Postconditions: Two revolve features and one cut-revolve feature are created.
