Revolve

Turns a path around its axis, like a lathe.

Revolve turns each path inside it around the path's own vertical axis, like a lathe. Draw half a profile on one side of the axis, like the edge of a vase or a turned leg, and it becomes the whole piece.

An open path becomes a surface, like a vase without a lid; a closed one becomes a solid, like a ring.

  • Angle: How much of the turn, in degrees. Less than 360 leaves the piece open, like a slice, and a closed path gets closed ends.
  • Segments: How many faces the full turn has.
