Revolves

In the conceptual design environment, a revolve is created from a line and a 2D shape that are drawn on the same work plane. The line defines the axis around which the shape is revolved to create a 3D form.

Note: If you are creating a component family using a template other than a massing or adaptive component template, see Creating a Revolve.
Note: In Step 2, you can create a surface revolve using lines that do not form a closed loop.
  1. Draw a line on a work plane.
  2. Draw a closed profile on the same work plane next to the line.
  3. Select the line and the closed profile.
  4. Click Modify | Lines tab Form panel Create Form. See Accessing the Create Form Tool.

To open a revolve

  1. Select the outside edge of the revolve profile.
    Tip: Using X-Ray mode helps identify the edge.
  2. Drag the orange control arrow to a new position.
