To Create a Revolved Cut
The sketched section for a revolved cut must be closed.
A revolved feature must contain an axis of revolution. Create an axis of revolution either by sketching a centerline with the revolved section, or by selecting existing linear geometry.
1. Click > . The Revolve tab opens.
2. To select the bodies from which geometry is removed, click the Body Options tab and select an option:
◦ To cut geometry from all the bodies that the feature passes through, select All.
◦ To cut geometry from selected bodies:
1. Select Selected.
2. Click the body collector, and then select bodies from which to cut geometry.
3. Select a closed sketch, or to create a sketch, click the
Placement tab, click
Define, sketch a section, if desired click > in the Datum group to create a geometry centerline, and click
OK.
| You could also select a sketch first, or select a datum plane or planar surface first, and then click > . |
4. If the sketched section does not contain a centerline, under Axis, click the collector, and then select a linear reference to use as the axis of revolution.
5. Select an angle option from the menu:
◦ Variable. Type an angle value.
◦ Symmetric. Type an angle value.
◦ To Reference. Select a datum point, vertex, plane, or surface as a reference.
| The terminating plane or surface must contain the axis of revolution. |
6. To flip the direction of feature creation in relation to the sketching plane, click
.
7. To remove material, click
Remove Material.
8. Click the Quilt collector, and select a quilt to trim. The sketch is projected to intersect with the quilt.
9. To change the portion of the quilt to be removed, click
to the right of
Remove Material. The arrow that lies within the sketching plane points to the side that will be removed. Switch between three modes:
◦ Remove Side 1
◦ Remove Side 2
◦ Keep both sides
10. If you keep both sides of the quilt, to select the side that will inherit the original quilt ID, click
to the right of the
Quilt collector.
11. To create a double-sided feature, do one of the following actions to define the depth for the second side of the sketching plane:
◦ Click the Options tab and select a depth option for Side 2.
◦ Right-click the drag handle, choose Other Side, and then select a depth option.
◦ Right-click the graphics window and select Side 2.
12. Click
OK.
