Compute a surface of revolution given a radius. A partial surface of revolution can be created by using startSweep and endSweep. This is used for creating spheres, cylinders, and cones. Please refer to their documentation for more specific descriptions.

absoluteSweepDifference, bottomCapCurve, degree, endSweep, heightRatio, radius, sections, spans, startSweep, tolerance, topCapCurve, useTolerance

Long name (short name)	Type	Default	Flags
bottomCapCurve (bcc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The curve that can be used for the bot cap
degree (d)	enum	3
The degree of the resulting surface: 1 - linear, 3 - cubic
endSweep (esw)	angle (double)	6.2831853
The angle at which to end the surface of revolution. Default is 2Pi radians, or 360 degrees.
heightRatio (hr)	double	2.0
Ratio of "height" to "width"
radius (r)	distance (double)	1.0cm
The radius of the object
sections (s)	integer	8
The number of sections determines the resolution of the surface in the sweep direction. Used only if useTolerance is false.
spans (nsp)	integer	1
The number of spans determines the resolution of the surface in the opposite direction.
startSweep (ssw)	angle (double)	0.0deg
The angle at which to start the surface of revolution
absoluteSweepDifference (asd)	angle (double)	0.0deg
The difference of endSweep - startSweep
tolerance (tol)	distance (double)	0.01cm
The tolerance with which to build the surface. Used only if useTolerance is true
topCapCurve (tcc)	nurbsCurve	NULL
The curve that can be used for the top cap
useTolerance (ut)	bool	false
Use the specified tolerance to determine resolution. Otherwise number of sections will be used.
