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.
- Draw a line on a work plane.
- Draw a closed profile on the same work plane next to the line.
