Volume Revolve lets you create a
volume by revolving a planar profile about an axis.
Before you begin: Create a 3D shape containing a line, and a sketch, and a plane.
Notes:
The profile must be planar and closed or closed on the axis of the sketch.
There must be no intersection between the axis and the profile. However, if the result
is topologically consistent, the surface will still be created.
The profile must not be perpendicular to the revolution axis.
If the profile is a sketch containing an axis, the latter is selected by default as
the revolution axis. You can select another revolution axis simply by selecting a new
line.
In the Profile box, select the profile to be revolved.
In the Revolution axis box, select the desired axis. It can be a line
or the axis of a sketch.
In the First Limit und Second Limit boxes, specify the limit types of the revolution.
Angle: Enter angle values or use the handles to define the
start and end limits of the revolution volume.
Up-to element: Select a point, a plane, or a surface. If a point
is specified, the up-to element is the plane normal to the revolution direction passing
through the given point.
Notes:
The up-to element can intersect the profile and the volume to be revolved. In
the latter case, it must completely cut the volume and there should not be any
partial intersections of the up-to element with the volume. If you select two
up-to elements, they must not cut each other within the volume to be
revolved.
Wires cannot be selected as up-to element.
Enter an angle value to define an offset from the up-to element.
