REVOLUTION - v14revolution file, <vector1>, <vector2>,< p_range>, <n_angle>, <svar>,
{,S=ON|OFF} {,r} {,B=ON|OFF}
Function
Perform the rotational sweeping.
Parameters
|
<object_file> |
The output file name |
|
|
|
|
<vector1>,<vector2> |
Define end points of the axis of rotation |
|
|
|
|
<p_range> |
Define the control face |
|
|
|
|
<n_angle> |
The value of the rotation angle |
|
|
|
|
<svar> |
Define the silhouettes for the revolution. A value of '0' means that the corresponding edge 'could be shown', depending on the point of view; a value of '1' means that the corresponding edge is 'always shown', regardless of the point of view. |
|
|
|
|
S=on|off |
If Self Intersection Check is required (S=ON) or not (S=OFF). |
|
|
|
|
r |
Load result in the STACK (workspace). |
revolution <object_filename>, <vector1>, <vector2>,
< n>, F=<file>, <n_angle> {,s=on|off} {,r}
Parameters
|
<object_filename> |
The output file name. |
|
|
|
|
<vector1>,<vector2> |
The end points of the axis of rotation. |
|
|
|
|
<i> |
The number of points x control point. |
|
|
|
|
F=<file> |
File containing the description of the control face. The default extension is .DAT |
|
|
|
|
<n_angle> |
The value of the rotation angle. |
|
|
|
|
s=on|off |
If a Self-Intersection check is required this switch should be set to on (s=on). The default is S=OFF |
|
|
|
|
r |
load result in the workspace. |
revolution <object_filename>, <vector1>, <vector2>,IDFACE=<i>, <n_angle> {,S=ON|OFF} {,r}
Parameters
|
<object_file> |
The output file name. |
|
<vector1>,<vector2> |
Define the end points of the axis of rotation. |
|
IDFACE=<i> |
The unique ID of the profile to be revolved. |
|
<n_angle> |
The value of the rotation angle. |
|
s=on|off |
If Self-Intersection Check is required (s=on) or not (s=off). The default is S=OFF |
In the second case the string of silhouettes is described element_by_element in the data files. Each line of the file of description has the following record structure:
. '0' or '1
. 'X_coord
. Y_coord
. Z_coord
Example :
'1 10.5 20 0.5'

Notes
If there are points of the control face laying on the axis of rotation then they could be only 2. In these cases case it is necessary to define the control face such that the two points on the axis are exactly the first and the last in its definition. Any number of control points can define the control face.
The result is a new Body object
revolution ENTITY=<id1>, <vector1>, <vector2>, <n_angle>
Parameters
|
ENTITY=<id1> |
Unique ID of the Curve that is to be extruded |
|
|
|
|
<vector1>,<vector2> |
Define end points of the axis of rotation |
|
|
|
|
<n_angle> |
The value of the rotation angle |

Notes
Note that this last syntax for the REVolution command can be used only when the "ex" feature is available in the license file.
The entity that must be revolved must be a Curve entity.
The resulting object is a new Surface entity.
