|
|
|
|
Rotate a sketch around some provided axis, creating a solid from its extent.
|
|
|
|
This, like extrude, is able to create a 3-dimensional solid from a 2-dimensional sketch. However, unlike extrude, this creates a solid by using the extent of the sketch as its revolved around an axis rather than using the extent of the sketch linearly translated through a third dimension.
|
|
|
|
Revolve occurs around a local sketch axis rather than a global axis.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
revolve(data: RevolveData, sketch: Sketch) -> Solid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Arguments
|
|
|
|
| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|
|
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
|
|
| `data` | [`RevolveData`](/docs/kcl/types/RevolveData) | Data for revolution surfaces. | Yes |
|
|
| `sketch` | [`Sketch`](/docs/kcl/types/Sketch) | A sketch is a collection of paths. | Yes |
|
|
|
|
### Returns
|
|
|
|
[`Solid`](/docs/kcl/types/Solid) - An solid is a collection of extrude surfaces.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
part001 = startSketchOn('XY')
|
|
|> startProfileAt([4, 12], %)
|
|
|> line([2, 0], %)
|
|
|> line([0, -6], %)
|
|
|> line([4, -6], %)
|
|

|
|
|> line([-3.75, -4.5], %)
|
|
|> line([0, -5.5], %)
|
|
|> line([-2, 0], %)
|
|
|> close(%)
|
|
|> revolve({ axis = 'y' }, %) // default angle is 360
