Revolve Surface

Open profiles create surfaces and closed profiles can create either a solid or a surface.
The MOde option controls is a solid of surface is created. When creating a surface,
SURFACEMODELINGMODE system variable controls if a procedural or NURBS surface is
created.

Revolve path and profile curves can be:


 Open or closed
 Planar or non-planar
 Solid and surface edges
 A single object (to extrude multiple lines, convert them to a single object with
the JOIN command)
 A single region (to extrude multiple regions, first convert them to a single object
with the UNION command)
