The REVSURF command
The
REVSURF
command (no alias) creates a revolution mesh from a curve that
defines a half-crossed section, a line or polyline that defines the axis of revolution,
an initial angle, and an included angle. The command starts by displaying current
values of the
SURFTAB1
and
SURFTAB2
variables and prompts for the selection of
the half-section curve:
Command:
REVSURF
Current wire frame density:
SURFTAB1=20
SURFTAB2=6
Select object to revolve:
Selection
The object that defines the axis of revolution is requested. We need to select an ex-
isting line or polyline, with the last axis that is defined by endpoints:
Select object that defines the axis of
revolution:
Selection
We define the initial angle, which is related to the section position:
Specify start angle <0>:
Enter or value
We define the included angle, which by default creates a full revolution:
Specify included angle (+=ccw, -=cw) <360>:
Enter or value
