The density of the generated mesh is controlled by the SURFTAB1 (page 1454)
and
SURFTAB2 (page 1454) 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.
The path curve is swept about the selected axis to define the mesh. The path
curve defines the N direction of the mesh. Selecting a circle or a closed polyline
as the path curve closes the mesh in the N direction.
