Create a Solid or Surface
by Revolving |
|
Create a 3D object by revolving objects about an axis.
With the REVOLVE command, you can revolve open or closed objects about an axis. The revolved objects define the profile of the new solid or surface.
If you revolve a closed object, the result is a solid. If you revolve an open object, the result is a surface.
You can revolve more than one object at a time.
Methods for Creating a Revolved Solid or Surface
When you revolve objects, you can specify one of the following options to use as an axis of revolution:
A profile that consists of lines or arcs that meet a polyline creates a surface object when it is revolved. To create a 3D solid object instead, first convert the profile objects to a single polyline by using the Join option of the PEDIT command.
For information about objects that can be used for revolving, see REVOLVE.
