Solid Revolve
Solid Revolve uses planar chains of curves to create one or more new solid bodies, cuts on an existing body, or bosses on an existing body. Mastercam revolves chains of curves by driving the shape of the curves about an axis.
Why would
I use thin wall revolve?
- The thin wall construction method revolves each entity in the chain to form sheet entities and thickens the sheet entities to form solids. The regular construction method creates a sheet entity (similar to a trimmed surface) within the boundary of the curves and then revolves the sheet entity into a solid.
- You can use open or closed chains of curves when creating solids with the thin wall construction method. You can use only closed chains with the regular construction method.
