About Revolved Geometry
You create revolved geometry by rotating a sketched section around an axis or a linear reference. You can rotate sketched sections at any angle up to a full circle. The resultant revolved geometry can be a solid or a surface. While creating revolved geometry, you can add or remove material.
The entity types whose selections result in revolved geometry are listed below:
Sketch
Closed sketches that are formed by solid edges
Sample sketches that result in revolved geometry are shown below:
See Example: Creating Revolved Geometry for the resulting revolved geometry.
