Revolve tips

• If you select associative curves, a face, or a sheet body for the section, the revolve feature updates correctly when you make changes to the original section. However, other features that reference the faces or edges of the revolve feature may not update correctly.
• A single Revolve feature can include multiple sheet and solid bodies.
• The plane of the selected curves is considered zero degrees. Entering a Start Angle that is greater than the End Angle causes the system to revolve in the negative direction.
• When you create a sheet body with an open section, the revolve axis can touch the section only at its end points.

How do I

• Revolve and unite a section
• Revolve a section with an offset
• Revolve a section between faces
