Cannot select profile for Solid Revolve, works for Surface Revolve only

r.wayne.collins — Fri, 15 Apr 2022 17:58:50 GMT

I am trying to create a "solid" model by revolving a profile I created with "Create Sketch", but it will not allow me to select the profile. It works fine for "Surface Revolve" but not for "Solid Revolve". What am I missing ? I have attached an export of the profile.

Hi @r.wayne.collins

Your sketch profile should be closed to use Solid Revolve.

Edit 'Sketch 1' Close the Open profile.

I wanted to give you a quick Screencast to demonstrate what @dsouzasujay is saying. Being new to the application, words are not enough for true understanding.

OK Thanks that worked. I thought I had it closed with a spline, but it seems the spline was not part of the sketch. Now my problem is I have a sketch I want to Mirror and then extrude, but Mirror function won't let me select the sketch.

File attached.

You did not specify which sketch you wanted to Mirror so I pick the spline and line one. Screencast will show process.

That's exactly what I want. Thanks a lot John.
