Summary
Select a line, arc, circle, or 2D or 3D polyline to sweep in a circular path around
a selected axis.
The MESHTYPE (page 1408) 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 (page 1500)
and
SURFTAB2 (page 1500) 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.
