There are three variants of the property panel for Revolution Cut depending on the chosen option:

By Angles revolves objects by specifying angles.

By Bounding Planes revolves objects by specifying bounding planes and angles.

Through All revolves objects by 360 degrees.

By angles

Revolution Cut: definition by angles

• Base objects - contains a list of objects selected in the Object Browser or in the Viewer, which will be revolved.

• Axis - axis of revolution.

• To angle - end angle of revolution.

• From angle - start angle of revolution.

• Cut from - contains a list of objects which will but cut with the result of revolution.

TUI Commands:

model.addRevolutionCut(part, objectsToRevolve, axis, angle, objectToCut)

Parameters

• part – The current part object.

• list – A list of objects for revolution.

• object – An axis.

• real – An angle.

• list – A list of objects to cut from.

Returns

Created object.

model.addRevolutionCut(part, objectsToRevolve, axis, toAngle, fromAngle, objectToCut)

• From offset - offset for revolution or for bounding plane, if selected.

• Cut from - contains a list of objects from which the result of revolution will be cut.

TUI Command:

model.addRevolutionCut(part, objectsToRevolve, axis, toObject, toOffset, fromObject, fromOffset, objectToCut)

Parameters
