Revolve Face (Solid)

Functionality

This node takes a Solid Face object (i.e. a Surface trimmed by some edges), and makes a Solid object of revolution from it, by rotating it around the specified axis. The axis is specified by providing a point on it and a directing vector.

Solid Face object can be created with nodes from “Make Face” submenu (such as “Face from Curve”); also any NURBS or NURBS-like surface can be used as a Solid Face.

Inputs

This node has the following inputs:

• SolidFace. Solid Face object to be used for Solid generation (a section of the body of revolution). This input is mandatory.

• Point. A point lying on the rotation axis. The default value is (0, 0, 0) (global origin).

• Direction. Directing vector of the rotation axis. The default value is (0, 0, 1) (Z axis).

• Angle. Rotation angle, in degrees. The default value is 360 (full circle).

Outputs

This node has the following output:

• Solid. The generated Solid object.
