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.
