Revolve path and profile curves can be:
 Open or closed
 Planar or non-planar
 Solid and surface edges
 A single object (to extrude multiple lines, convert them to a single object
with the
JOIN (page 536) command)
 A single region (to extrude multiple regions, convert them to a single object
with the
REGION (page 891) command)
To automatically delete the profile, use the
DELOBJ (page 1251) system variable.
If
associativity (page 1498) is on, the DELOBJ system variable is ignored and the
originating geometry is not deleted.

NOTE Select face and edge subobjects by pressing Ctrl while you select them.
You cannot revolve objects contained within a block or objects that will
self-intersect. REVOLVE ignores the width of a polyline and revolves from the
center of the path of the polyline.
The right-hand rule determines the positive direction of rotation. For more
information, see Understand the UCS in 3D.
List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Objects to Revolve Specifies the objects to be revolved about an axis.
Mode Controls whether the revolve action creates a solid or a surface. Surfaces
are extended as either NURBS surfaces or procedural surfaces, depending on
the
SURFACEMODELINGMODE (page 1500) system variable.
