RevSurf

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic and Pro, Bricscad (Linux) Classic

Creates a 3D mesh surface by revolving a linear entity around a line.

Accessing the Command

command bar: revsurf

menu bar: Draw | Meshes | Revolved Surface

toolbar: Draw 3D | 3D Surfaces |

: revsurf

Prompts you in the command bar:

Angle to begin surface of revolution <0>: (Specify an angle, or press Enter to accept the default.)

Degrees to revolve entity (+ for ccw, - for cw <360>: (Specify an angle with an optional negative sign, or press Enter to accept the default.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Select a linear entity to revolve	Specifies a single entity to be revolved into a 3D surface mesh. You may choose a line, circle, arc, polyline, or spline; 3D objects do not work.
Select the axis of revolution	Specifies the entity about which the surface is revolved; you may choose a line or polyline; curved objects do not work.
Angle to begin surface of revolution	Specifies the starting angle of the revolution; the default is 0 degrees.
Degrees to revolve entity	Specifies the extent of the revolution; for a closed object, start with 0 and end with 360 degrees. The revolved surface is drawn counterclockwise; prefix the angle with a negative sign to draw the revolution clockwise. Note that this is not the ending angle, but the number of degrees by which the entity is revolved.
