Learn how to use the Revolve tool to revolve a profile around an axis to create a circular T-Spline body in Fusion.

revolve example

  1. In the Design workspace, Form contextual environment, select Create > Revolve revolve icon. The Revolve dialog displays.
  2. In the canvas, select the Profile to revolve.
  3. Select a linear or circular object to use as the Axis to revolve around.
  4. In the dialog, select a Type and adjust associated settings.

    • partial icon Angle: Revolves the profile around the axis to an angle value that you specify.
      • Select a Direction setting and adjust associated settings.
        • one side icon One Side: Creates a revolve in one direction.
        • two sides icon Two Sides: Creates a revolve in both directions. Each direction can have a different angle.
        • symmetric icon Symmetric: Creates a symmetrical revolution in both directions.
      • To specify the Angle value, drag the manipulator handle or type an exact value.
  5. Specify the face Spacing:
    • uniform icon Uniform: Spaces faces evenly around the profile.
    • uniform icon Curvature: Spaces faces based on the curvature of the profile.
  6. Optionally, check Weld to merge all coincident vertices.
  7. Select a Symmetry setting and adjust associated settings:
    • none icon None
    • circular icon Circular: Select to embed symmetry in the body.
