By angles

Revolution: 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.

TUI Commands:

model.addRevolution(part, objects, axis, angle)

Parameters

• part – The current part object.

• list – A list of objects for revolution.

• object – An axis.

• real – An angle.

Returns

Created object.

model.addRevolution(part, objects, axis, toSize, fromSize)

Parameters

• part – The current part object.

• list – A list of objects for revolution.

• object – An axis.

• real – To angle.

• real – From angle.

Returns

Created object.

Result

The Result of the operation will be a revolved shape:

Revolution created

By bounding planes

Revolution: definition by bounding planes

• 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 plane - a planar face can be selected to bound revolution from one side.

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

• From plane - a planar face can be selected to bound revolution from other side.

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

TUI Command:

model.addRevolution(part, objects, axis, toObject, toOffset, fromObject, fromOffset)

Parameters

• part – The current part object.

• list – A list of objects for revolution.

• object – An axis.

• object – To object.

• real – To offset.

• object – From object.

• real – From offset.

Returns

Created object.

Result

The Result of the operation will be a revolved shape:

Revolution created
