Rotation

Calling the command:

The command can also be called from the dynamic toolbar or contextual menu for selected contour in the standby mode.

Rotation operation creates solids by rotation of shape-defining element (rotation contour) about an arbitrary axis by full circle (360°) or by an arbitrary sector.

The rotation contour can be made of wire geometry objects (either flat or 3D), as well as faces and edges belonging to solids and surfaces. You can also select multiple objects of the same type. The result of extruding is a surface or a solid body, depending on the selected contour and thin wall parameters. Rotation axis and sector can be defined by various means, including usage of existing model elements as a reference. Association with reference object stays active after an operation creation, so rotation will be recalculated automatically according to reference objects' geometry changes. Additional parameters of operation also allow to blend edges of resulting body.

The command's interface is shown below:
