REVOLVE — Revolve

Creates a solid by revolving a closed profile about an axis.

• Command: REVOLVE · Global name: _REVOLVE · Alias: REV
• Ribbon: Home › Draw

Creates a 3D solid by revolving a closed profile about an axis, like AutoCAD's REVOLVE. Modeling uses the truck kernel (pure Rust).

Usage

1. Type REVOLVE or click it in the ribbon.
2. Select the closed profile and press Enter.

Select the closed profiles and press Enter:

3. Enter the axis: X, Y or two points "x1,y1,z1 x2,y2,z2".

Revolution axis [X/Y] or two points "x1,y1,z1 x2,y2,z2":

4. Enter the angle (360° by default).

Revolution angle <360>:

Notes

• The revolved solid comes out faceted: exact curved surfaces (cylinders, cones, tori as a B-spline surface) come in a later phase. AutoCAD audits it with no errors.
• The axis must lie in the profile's plane and must not cross it.
