Revolved Boundary

Revolved surface boundary is used to create curves from revolved surfaces.

To create curves from revolved surfaces:

1. Select Construct tab > Curves panel > From Surfaces > Revolved Surface Boundary to display the Revolved Surface Boundary dialog.
2. Select a method from:
   • Polygonal method. This method uses the simulation engine to triangulate the file and create a profile curve. It is the recommended method for solid and STL models.
     Note: This method is available only for solid and STL models
   • Surface method
   • Solid method
     Note: This method is available only for solid models.
3. If you selected Surface method, select:
   • All surfaces — if you want to generate geometry from all of the surfaces and faces of your part.
   • Only selected — if you want to restrict the geometry creation to surfaces/faces that are currently selected.
4. If you selected Polygonal method, click the Tolerances button to enter tolerances.
5. Optionally select Convert to geometry to convert the curve into its geometry components.
6. Click the Preview button to see a preview of the curve in the graphics window.
7. Click OK.
