Construct a revolved extrusion or cutout


  1. On the Home tab→Solids group, click one of the following:

    • Revolve

    • Revolved Cut

  2. Do one of the following:

    • If you want to draw a profile, select a planar face or reference plane.

    • If you want to select a profile from an existing sketch, on the command bar, on the Create-From Options list, click the Select From Sketch option. This option is not available if there are no sketches in the document.

  3. Draw or select a profile and define an axis of rotation. The profile can be open or closed.

    Note:

    If you are using the Revolve command to construct a base feature, the profile must be closed.

  4. Click to define the side of the profile you want to add material to or remove material from. This step is skipped if the profile is closed.

  5. Define the extent of the material you want to add or remove.

  6. Finish the feature.

Tip:

The ends of an open profile are extended infinitely. An arc with open ends is extended to form a circle.
