Profile Revolution

Spins a profile around an axis to make a solid of revolution, like turning on a lathe. A profile set away from the axis gives a ring; an angle below 360 degrees leaves a partial turn starting at the profile.

Inputs

Profile Profile

The flat outline to spin around the axis.

Takes: Circle, Curves to Profile, Join Profiles, Points to Polygon, Rectangle, Regular Polygon, Slot, Cross Section
Center Point

Wired point on the axis; takes precedence over the typed value.

Takes: any block that gives Point (13 blocks)
Axis Vector

Wired axis direction; takes precedence over the typed value.

Axis value Axis

A wired Axis; when present it replaces both center and axis.

Takes: Axis
Angle Number

How far to spin, in degrees from 0 to 360; 360 is a full turn. The turn is right-handed about the axis.

Output

Solid

Used by: any block that takes Solid (95 blocks)

Properties

Values the block gives besides its output. The editor lists them under Properties, and an input can read one by reference.

BoundingBox Bounding Box

The axis-aligned extent of the Solid.

ScalarField Number

The Solid's signed distance, as a field.

Inverted Solid

The Solid turned inside out: what was inside is now outside.
