XRevolve

Works with Bricscad (Windows) Platinum

Revolves 2D closed entities to turn them into 3D X-Solids.

Accessing the Command

command bar: xrevolve

menu bar: X-Solids | Revolve

toolbar: X-Solids |

: xrevolve

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select profiles to revolve: select one or more closed 2D entities.

Non-selfintersecting closed polylines, circles and ellipses are accepted.

Right click to stop selecting Entities.

Displays a dialog box:

Command Options

Option	Description
Angle	Specifies the revolution angle. Type the angle in the Angle field. Click the Pick button (), the dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Angle of revolution <360>: type the angle, then press Enter or click two points to define the revolution angle. The angle is measured counter clockwise from the X-axis of the current UCS.
Reverse	Reverses the revolution angle.
Axis	Defines the axis of revolution.
2 Points	The dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Start point of axis <0,0,0>: click a point to define the start point of the revolution axis. End point of axis: click a point to define the end point of the revolution axis.
XYZ	Press the X button to rotate about the X-axis of the current UCS. Press the Y button to rotate about the Y-axis of the current UCS. Press the Z button to rotate about the Z-axis of the current UCS.
Edge/Object	The dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Select a line, arc, circle or edge: click on a line, arc or circle. In case of an arc or a circle the axis is perpendicular to the plane of the arc or circle and passes through the center.
Move	Preserves the direction of the axis, but lets you select a different through-point.
Absorb profile	If checked, deletes the revolved 2D entities.
Pick All	The dialog box temporarily closes. Prompts you in the command bar: Axis of revolution - Object/X/Y/<Start point of axis> <0,0,0>: click a point to define the start point of the revolution axis or choose an option (see Axis). End point of axis: click a point to define the end point of the revolution axis. Angle of revolution <360 degrees>: Type the angle, then press Enter or click two points to define the revolution angle. The angle is measured counter clockwise from the X-axis of the current UCS.
After primitive creation, perform operation:	Launches the XUnion, XIntersect or XSubtract command to be executed using the newly created X-Solid box. You are prompted in the command bar to select one or more other solids.
Preview	Displays a preview of the extrusion in the drawing in dashed lines.
View	The Create X-Solid by Revolving dialog box temporarily closes. Displays the View Options dialog box:
OK	Creates the X-Solid.
Cancel	Aborts the XRevolve command.
