To Construct a Parametric Solid of Revolution By Point

  1. Select the Revolve Feature tool.
  2. Set Revolve Axis to By Point.
  3. Select the profile element.
  4. Enter a data point to define the location of the axis of revolution.

    The axis of revolution will be perpendicular to a line joining this data point and the data point used to select the profile.

  5. Enter a data point to define the sweep angle (or to accept the defined angle).


    Examples of revolving the same profile By Point. | Select the profile (1), define the position of the axis of revolution (2) and define the sweep angle (3). | In each case the axis of revolution is perpendicular to the line joining points 1 and 2.
