Surface from revolve, is it possible ?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Today I've drawn a profile with a single line (not an area)

I tried to revolve it in the model and patch space, wihout success.

Is it possible to create a surface from a revolve ? In autocad I could. I want to thicken the surface after to transform it into a body.

Thanks

You should be able to Revolve surface in Patch environment.

Are you selecting one of the Origin axis as your axis of revolution - or do you have a sketch line to revolve about?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file and attach it here?

Hi,

I don't want to revolve a surface, I want the end result to be a surface,
using the revolve function...

Hard to say exactly what the solution to your problem would be without seeing your model, but say you have a solid body cylinder and want to turn it into a surface. All you have to do is switch to the patch environment and delete the top and bottom caps and it will become a surface.

The preferred method to create such a surface would be the way @JDMather showed.

That is precisely what I did.  I revolved a line to create a surface body cylinder.

Then I Thickened the surface body to create a solid body.

My solution exactly solves the problem description as you stated it.

If you would like to provide a new problem description - include additional information as required.
