Summary
Select a line, arc, circle, or 2D or 3D polyline to sweep in a circular path around
a selected axis.
The MESHTYPE system variable sets which type of mesh is created. Mesh
objects are created by default. Set the variable to 0 to create legacy polyface
or polygon mesh.
The density of the generated mesh is controlled by the SURFTAB1 and
SURFTAB2 system variables. SURFTAB1 specifies the number of tabulation
lines that are drawn in the direction of revolution. If the path curve is a line,
arc, circle, or spline-fit polyline, SURFTAB2 specifies the number of tabulation
lines that are drawn to divide it into equal-sized intervals. If the path curve is
a polyline that has not been spline fit, tabulation lines are drawn at the ends
of straight segments, and each arc segment is divided into the number of
intervals specified by SURFTAB2.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Current wire frame density: SURFTAB1=current SURFTAB2=current
Object to revolve Select a line, arc, circle, or 2D or 3D polyline.
Object that defines axis of revolution Select a line or open 2D or 3D polyline.
The axis direction cannot be parallel to the plane of the original object.
