obj = REVSRF/obj,AXIS,line[,point][,start,end]
Creates a sheet body whose underlying surface type is a surface of revolution. You create this sheet body by specifying a previously defined generating curve and a previously defined line which represents the axis of revolution.
The generating curve is revolved about the line in degrees measured from the generating curve.
You may specify a previously defined point to control the direction of rotation. Rotation is counterclockwise as viewed from the end of the line nearest the specified point toward the opposite end.
If no point is specified, rotation is viewed based on the creation parameters of the line.
For example, if the line was defined from P1 to P2, then rotation is counterclockwise as viewed from P1 toward P2.

Parameter |
Description |
|
obj |
An existing curve which is rotated about an axis generating the body. |
|
AXIS |
Minor word that indicates that a line is specified which becomes the axis of rotation. |
|
line |
An existing line which serves as the axis of rotation. |
|
point |
A previously defined point which may be used to control the direction of rotation. Rotation is counterclockwise as viewed from the end of the line nearest the specified point to the opposite end. If a point is not specified the ending parameters of the line are assumed. |
|
start,end |
The starting and ending angles of rotation. If the start and end angles are not specified the default values of 0 to 360 are used. |
