4. Set ISOLINES to 24 .
5. Call the Revolve tool and construct a solid of revolution.
6. Place the screen in the 3D Navigate/SW Isometric. Zoom to 1 .
7. Place in Visual Styles/Shades of Gray ( Fig. 12.21 ) .

Fig. 12.21 Second example - Revolve

Third example - Revolve ( Fig. 12.22 )

1. Make Green the current layer.
2. Place the screen in the 3D Navigate/Front view.
3. Construct the pline (left-hand drawing of Fig. 12.22). The drawing
must be either a closed pline or a region.
4. Set Isolines to 24 .
5. Call Revolve and form a solid of revolution through 180 degree .
6. Place the model in the 3D Navigate/NE Isometric. Zoom to 1 .
7. Place in Visual Styles/Conceptual .

The result is shown in Fig. 12.22 (right-hand drawing).
