Revolved

 

 

 

This command generates a shape by turning a profile about a revolution axis.

 

Creation Stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select Shape > Revolved... from the drop-down menu (or Modeling > Local Shapes > Revolved in the assembly document).

 

  1. Select the section to revolve.

  2. Select the axis of rotation (by default it is the X axis of the sketch)

 

 

Rotating a closed section can automatically result in a solid rotated shape. If your section is open, you must use the Offset option to get a solid rotated shape.

 

 

It is possible to create a new section "on the fly" by clicking the "+".

 

 

Available Options:

 

By checking this box, the result of the extrusion is systematically surfacic, even if the profile is planar and closed.

 

This option allows you to define a partial revolution.

You also have the following possibilities:

 

 

  • Click on yellow handles to quickly and dynamically modify the revolved shape.

  • Double click on handles to enter a new bounds angle.

 

 

This option allows you to obtain a hollow revolved shape open on its extremities. To do this, you can provide a thickness by using the following modes:

 

Centered

the entered value is distributed on both sides of the section.

Outwards

the section is thickened outwards with the entered value.

Inwards

the section is thickened inwards with the entered value.

On both sides

you can enter 2 different values for the outwards and inwards thickening.

 

The Rounded joins check box allows you to add fillets on the outer circular edges of the revolved shape with, as the radius value, the exterior value thickness.
