Revolution

This function allows you to create a solid by revolution of a profile.

To generate a solid of revolution, select the desired 2D profile and execute the revolve operation. The function automatically revolves the selected profile 360° around the Z-axis, producing a fully symmetric 3D solid. This method is particularly useful for creating cylindrical or axisymmetric components, such as shafts, where the cross-section is uniform about the central axis. The operation ensures consistent geometry and is commonly applied in mechanical design workflows following the initial sketch definition.

For the revolution to be possible, the profile must not cross the axis of revolution.
