Revolved Geometry Tips
If the axis touches the revolve shape, the result is a solid.

If you sketch away from the axis, the resulting geometry has a hole in it.

You can change the start and end points of the revolved geometry by selecting it, clicking
the degrees for the start and end angle properties. You can also achieve the same effect by dragging the start
and end faces of the revolved solid.
NOTE You cannot drag the start and end faces of a 360-degree revolution.

Creating Solid Sweeps

A sweep is a tool for creating families that requires you to sketch or apply a profile (shape) and extrude that
profile along a path. You might use a sweep to create moldings, railings, or simple pipes.
The following procedure is a general method for creating a sweep. Steps may vary depending on your design
intent. You can also create massing shapes using the Sweep command. Access massing commands through
the Massing tab of the Design Bar. For more information on massing, see
Studies on page 517.
