REVOLUT allows you to create a point mesh that 
approximates the surface formed by rotating a generator
curve about an axis by a specified angular distance.

Select the line, arc, conic, or spline to be used as the
generator curve.

Enter the number of segments that the generator curve is 
to be broken into.

Define a rotation axis for the mesh of revolution by
choosing from the following options:


2 PTS - to define the cylinder axis by selecting a start 
and endpoint. The axis vector is directed from the start
point to the endpoint.

LINE - to define the cylinder axis by selecting a line
entity. The axis vector is directed from the end of the 
line closest to the selection point, to the opposite end
of the line.

END ENT - to define the cylinder axis by selecting a line,
arc, conic, polyline, or spline.

KEYIN - to define the cylinder axis by entering the axis
vector coordinates and then selecting a point on the axis.

Using a Position Menu option, position a point on the 
axis.

The selected point and vector components determine the 
line around which the generator curve is rotated.


Enter the total angular distance (in degrees) the 
generator is to be rotated about the axis.

Enter the number of segments to be generated in the 
rotation direction.

If the vector that defines the axis is normal to the 
display screen (i.e., it is pointed toward you), the 
generator curve is rotated in a counter-clockwise 
direction.

A temporary mesh is displayed, along with a NO/YES menu. 
If the curves are connected correctly, choose YES. If the
curves are not connected correctly, choose NO and select
another generator curve.

Indicate whether or not you want to group the entities.
Choose NO to continue without grouping. Choose YES to 
create a group, and enter a group name.

The mesh is created and you are prompted to select another
generator curve.
