Revolving Faces

You can revolve any face or surface with the Pull tool. The face or surface can lie on both sides of the revolve axis.

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 surfaces, faces, or solids you want to revolve.
3. Alt+click the straight line, axis, or edge to set the revolve axis. You can also select the Revolve tool guide, then click to set 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 object, select the Up To tool guide and click an edge, face, or plane, or select Full Pull from the Options panel or mini-toolbar.

   Neighboring faces automatically extend to define the boundaries of the revolved faces of solids. Revolving from a flat surface face has no neighboring faces, so it makes new face boundaries.

   To dimension the rotation, type the rotation angle and press Enter. The positive direction is shown by the Revolve handle.

The common pull options are described in Pull Options. Once you select the edge or face to pull, select these options from the Options panel, or right-click and select them from the mini-toolbar.
