About Creating a Solid or Surface by Revolving

Create a 3D object by revolving curves about an axis.

When the Mode option is set to Surface, you create a surface and if Mode is set to Solid you create a solid regardless of whether the curve is open or closed. When revolving a solid, you can only use a revolve angle of 360 degrees.

Options for Revolving

  • Mode. Sets whether the revolve creates a surface or a solid.
  • Start Angle. Specifies an offset for the revolution from the plane of the object being revolved.
  • Reverse. Changes the direction of the revolve.
  • Expression. Enter a formula or equation to specify the revolve angle. This option is only available if you are creating associative surfaces.
