Each guide curve must meet the following criteria:
Intersects each cross section
Starts on the first cross section
Ends on the last cross section

Create a Solid or Surface by Revolving
Create a 3D object by revolving curves about an axis.
When the Mode option is set to Surface, you will create a surface and if Mode
is set to Solid you will create a solid regardless of whether the curve is open
or closed. See
Overview of Creating Solids and Surfaces (page 361) for more
information. When revolving a solid, you can only use a revolve angle of 360
degrees.
Options for Revolving
Mode. Sets whether the revolve creates a surface or a solid.
Start Angle. Specifies an offset for the revolution from the plane of the
object being revolved.
Reverse. Changes the direction of the revolve.
Expression. Enter a formula or equation to specify the revolve angle.
This option is only available if you are creating associative surfaces. See
Create Geometric Relationships between Associative Surfaces (page 406).
