Instrumentul Revolution crează un solid prin rotirea schiței selectate sau a unui obiect 2D în jurul unei axe date.
Deasupra: schița (A) este rotită cu 270 grade în sens antiorar/trigonometric în jurul axei (B); rezultând un solid (C), care este afișat în dreapta.
Cum se foloseste
Select the sketch to be revolved. v0.17 and above A face on the existing solid can alternatively be used.
Press the Revolution button.
Set the Revolution parameters (see next section).
Press OK.
Options
Opțiuni
Atunci când este crrată o revoluție, dialogul privind REveolution parameters oferă câteva variante de parametrii care specifică cum schița poate fi rotită.
Type offers five different ways of specifying the angle of the revolution:
Dimension
Enter a numeric value for the Angle of the revolution. With the option Symmetric to plane the revolution will extend half the given angle to either side of the sketch or face.
To last
The revolution will extend up to the last face of the support it encounters in its direction. If there is no support, an error message will appear.
To first
The revolution will extend up to the first face of the support it encounters in its direction. If there is no support, an error message will appear.
Up to face
The revolution will extend up to a face. Press the Face button and select a face or a datum plane from the Body.
Two dimensions
This allows to enter a second angle in which the revolution should extend in the opposite direction. The directions can be switched by checking the Reversed option.
Axis
Specifies the axis of the revolution:
Axis
This option specifies the axis about which the sketch is to be revolved.
Vertical sketch axis: selects the vertical sketch axis.
Horizontal sketch axis: selects the horizontal sketch axis.
Sketch axis: v0.16 and below selects a construction line contained in the sketch used by the Revolution. The first construction line created in the sketch will be labelled Sketch axis 0. The drop down list will contain one custom sketch axis for each construction line.
Construction line: v0.17 and above selects a construction line contained in the sketch used by the Revolution. The drop down list will contain an entry for each construction line. The first construction line created in the sketch will be labelled Construction line 1.
Base (X/Y/Z) axis: v0.17 and above selects the X, Y or Z axis of the Body's Origin;
Select reference...: v0.17 and above allows selection in the 3D view of an edge on the Body, or a datum line.
Note that when changing the axis, the Reversed option may be (un)checked automatically.
Angle
Unghi
This controls the angle through which the revolution is to be formed, e.g. 360° would be a full, contiguous revolution.
The images in the examples section demonstrate some of the possibilities with specifying different angles. It is not possible to specify negative angles (use the Reversed option instead) or angles greater than 360° .
Simetric față de Plan
If checked, the revolution will extend half of the specified angle in both directions from the sketch plane.
Inversat
If checked, the direction of revolution is reversed from default clockwise to counterclockwise.
Symmetric to plane
Check this option to extend the revolution half the given angle to either side of the sketch or face. This option is only available if Type is Dimension.
When using a SubShapeBinder for the profile, selecting the binder in the Tree view will fail, instead the binder's face has to be selected in the 3D view.
