Revolving an Edge of a Solid or Surface

  1. Select the Pull tool in the Edit group on the Design tab. The Select tool guide on the right side of the Design window should be active.
  2. Select the edges you want to revolve.
  3. Alt+click a straight line, axis, or edge to set the rotation axis.
    You can also select the Revolve tool guide, then click the revolve axis. The revolve axis is shown in blue.
  4. Click and drag in the direction of the Pull arrow to revolve the selected edge or select the Up To tool guide and click an edge or face to revolve up to.
    Ctrl+click to select edges of faces along with the face to force the pull tool to create new neighboring faces to contain these edges (essentially changing from a draft to a revolve). Unlike other CAD products, SpaceClaim allows revolving planar and non-planar edges and faces about lines that do not lie in those planes. This allows skewed rotational solids and surfaces.
    You can use the Up To tool guide when you revolve edges.
    To dimension the rotation, type the rotation angle while the Revolve handle is displayed and press Enter.
