| Summary | 0000599: Revolution tool for rectangles | ||||
| Description | Hello, I really like your revolution-tool for creating parts. But this only round parts. I would like to have a tool that creates a rectangle out of the revolution. I would like to create a shape specifing with and length and a shape as a rectangle is created. Could you implement such a useful tool? I'm not sure if I have described my problem in a understoodable way. When something is unclear, please ask. Michael | ||||

Have you tried to make a polar array of a wire and connect the edges by ruled surfaces? |
|
|
A screen capture or an image of what you want would help, because I can't see how you can get, by definition, a rectangle result from a revolution. |
|
|
I find it hard too to understand what you wish... Isn't it a plain extrude? |

Hi Yorik, I couldn't work out what this guy wanted either, so I thought I would send him a Private Message asking for some more details. But guess what... his user name "over2there" does not exist on Source forge. What does that mean? I thought it was just someone with poor English skills but now I am wondering if this is spam? or someone's idea of a joke? Perhaps we should delete this ticket? |

Yes that's 3 months now.. let's close it. |

The revolution tool creates a body by rotating a vertex/edge/wire/face around a given axis. Mathematically the rotation is always circular, i.e. if you e.g. have a point as input then the output is a circle, if the input is a straight line then the output is a cone or cylinder (if line is parallel to the axis). So now the OP wants to define a rectangle-based instead of a circular revolution. In the mathematical sense this of course isn't a revolution. However, you can consider a revolution as a pipe operation where the profile is the input shape and the spine is a circle. If I didn't ignore something obvious it should be sufficient that the user only has to make a rectangle (or any other path) and use the pipe function. |

This can be achieved by the sweep command. Therefore create two rectangles (as the profile) and choose the edge/wire as the trajectory. There is no special tool needed. |
