What's Going On With My Revolve Tool?

Anonymous — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 17:37:11 GMT

Hi!

I am following a tutorial on making a candle holder--he uses the CV Curve tool and draws out half of his shape. When he's done, he clicks the "Revolve" tool and it fills it in for him. However, when I click the revolve tool, it looks completely incorrect. I attached his final product vs. my final product, and if anyone knows why my Revolve tool is coming out so weird, please let me know. I also attached what my settings look like, in case anything is wrong with those.

Thank you so much if you are able to help me!

Hi!

It's hard to tell what's the problem just from the screenshot and without clearly seeing your curve in 3d space or having a Maya scene-file to check , but I guess you created the curve flat on the ground instead upwards.

So either rotate your curve or change the rotation axis for the revolve.

You fixed it! I had to change the rotation axis. Thank you so much!
