Solids Builder - Revolve

Revolve - creates a solid by Revolve of a plane figure ( circle or polyline) on an axis ( Vector):

The Revolve activity has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the activity
    The name of the Revolve must follow the naming rules
  • Figure to Revolve - name of the section to be revolved, it must be a flat figure ( circle or polyline)
  • Angle of Revolve - a numerical value or a VB expression for the angle of Revolve in decimal degrees
  • Start Angle - a numerical value or a VB expression for the start angle in decimal degrees, counter clockwise starting on the X Axis of the Revolve plan
  • Point - name of the point that marks the plane of Revolve as well as the center of the Revolve
  • Vector - name of the vector that marks the normal of the plane of Revolve as well as the axis of rotation
  • Object Visible - indicates whether or not the point should be drawn in the preview
    
    
• Angle Dimension
  • Angle Offset - VB expression that distances the dimension line from the center point position
  • Dimension Angle - indicates whether to draw a dimension at the angle of Revolve
  • Angle Template - a text template that provides the dimension
    Use <> for the dimension (Example: AOR = <>)

If the text gets too big/small, or the sphere that represents the point gets too big or small, use the buttons ( A, a, , ) at the top of the screen to change the preview
