Use the Revolve tool to remove material by revolving a sketched section around a centerline.

• To create a cut, use the same angle options as for protrusions.

• For solid cuts, use closed sections.

• For cuts created with

Thicken, you can use both closed and open sections.

• While defining a cut, you can switch between feature attributes by clicking the following buttons:

◦

Remove Material—Switches between cut and protrusion.

◦

Flip—Switches the side from which material is removed.

◦

Thicken Sketch—Switches between solid and thin cut.
