3. To specify the axis of revolution, specify one of the following:

 The start and endpoint. Click to points on the screen to set the axis orientation. The axis
points must be on one side of the revolved object. The positive axis direction extends from the start

point to the endpoint.

 The X, Y, or Z axis. Enter x, y, or z.
 An object. Select a line, a linear edge of a polyline segment, or the linear edge of a surface or
solid.

4. Specify the angle of revolution.

Command entry: REV

4.10.3 SWEEP

Creates a 3D solid or surface by sweeping a 2D object along a path. With the SWEEP command,

you can create a new solid or surface by sweeping an open or closed planar curve (profile) along an
open or closed 2D or 3D path. SWEEP draws a solid or surface in the shape of the specified profile

along the specified path. You can sweep more than one object, but they all must lie on the same
plane. When you select an object to sweep, it is automatically aligned to the object that is used as the

path.
