Modify Surface of Revolution

Right-click a revolution → Modify

Allows you to control the location and orientation of a revolution. Learn about the Revolution Tool.

For the option:	Do the following:
Revolution Name	Displays the name of the revolution you are modifying.
New Name	If you want, enter a unique name for the revolution.
Reference Marker	Specify the marker used to locate and orient a revolution.
Relative To	Specify the coordinate system in which the location and orientation coordinates are specified. If you do not specify this parameter, Adams View uses the reference marker.
Angle Extent	Specify the extended angle measured positive (according to the right-hand rule) about the z-axis of the reference marker. The angle starts at the x-axis of the reference marker and extends the arc of the revolution.
Number of Sides	Enter the number of flat sides Adams View draws on a revolution. The number of sides you specify affects the calculations Adams View uses to determine a part’s mass and inertia.
Profile Points/Profile Curve	Select either: ■Profile Points - Enter points used to define the profile of the revolution. The points are relative to the revolution’s reference marker. The profile defined by the points is swept around the reference marker’s z-axis. To edit the locations of the points, select the More button to display the Location table. ■Profile Curve - Enter an object used to define the profile of the revolution. You can specify an arc, circle, spline curve, polyline, chain, or outline.
