Create a revolve form from a line and a 2D profile that share a work plane.
The line in the revolve defines the axis around which the shape is revolved to create the 3D form.
- Draw a line on a work plane.
- Draw a closed profile on the same work plane next to the line.
Note: You can create a surface revolve using lines that do not form a closed loop.
- Select the line and the closed profile.
- Click Modify | Lines tab Form panel (Create Form).
- (Optional) To open a revolve, select the outside edge of the revolve profile.
Tip: Use X-Ray mode to help identify the edge.
- Drag the orange control arrow to a new position.
