To Create a Revolved Surface
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
Model >
Revolve. The
Revolve tab opens.
2. Select a sketch, or to create a sketch, click the
Placement tab, click
Define, sketch a section, if desired click
Sketch >
Centerline 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 Model > Revolve. |
3. If the sketched section does not contain a centerline, click the
collector, and then select a linear reference to use as the axis of revolution.
4. To create a surface, click
.
5. Select an angle option from the menu:
◦ Variable. Type an angle value.
◦ Symmetric. Type an angle value.
◦ To Selected. 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 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.
8. If you used a closed section for the revolved feature, you can close the ends of the revolved surface. Click the Options tab and select Capped Ends.
