Part Revolve/ru

Example of revolution

Usage

1. Optionally select one or more shapes in the 3D view or in the tree view
2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
   • Press the Part Revolve button.
   • Select the Part → Revolve... option from the menu.
3. The Revolve Tasks panel opens.
   • Optionally click on an item in the Shape list to (re-) select a shape.
   • Optionally keep Shift presse and click on an item in the Shape list to either add the shape to the selection, or to remove it from the selection.
   • Set the revolution axis and angle and optionally other parameters (see Parameters section for more details).
4. Press OK to close the Revolve dialog.
5. One Revolve object will be created for each selected shape.

Each input shape is placed underneath its Revolve object.

Parameters

The Revolve shape is defined by the following parameters, which can be edited after its creation in the Property editor.

• Source: the input shape (the shape upon which the Part Revolve was applied).
• Base: base point of revolution axis.
• Axis: direction of revolution axis.
• Axis Link: link to edge to use as revolution axis.
• Angle: angle span of revolution. If angle is zero and an arc is used for axis link, arc's span will be used.
• Symmetric: if True, revolution is extended symmetrically from the profile
• Solid: if True, revolving a closed edge or a closed wire will yield a solid. If False, a shell will result.
• Face Maker Class: sets C++ class name of face making code, which is used when making solids from wires. This property is here mainly for maintaining backward compatibility. Do not touch, unless you know what you are doing.
• Placement: the standard placement parameters.
• Label: label to be shown in the Model tree view (not available on Revolve creation).
