                  axis
          
       
       
       
       
      Creates a new surface by sweeping a curve,
         isoparametric curve, curve on surface, or trim boundary around an
         axis, creating an effect similar to that of a lathe.
      
      
         - Choose Surfaces > Revolve   . .
- Click the curve.
- Do any of the following:
               - Use the manipulator to change the surface.
- Choose the Revolve tool
                  again to make another surface.
               
- Choose another tool.
