Bobbku Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I have a problem with revolving shapes that consists nonlinear shapes (splines, arcs, etc.) using its own segment. Heres a short video showing the issue with a unified with a circle but same thing happens when drawing a profile consisting v-lines and splines. Please let me if there is anything I can do to fix it.

AHTOH Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi Bobbku Actually your source shape is not suppose to touch or intersect the object you revolve in order to avoid bed geometry (zero radius hole for instance). However in this magic case it worked for you for simple shaped object. So, if you want to create an object from source shown you need to create axe of revolution that is not touching your source object. If you don`t like resulting hole in the center you could select it with topological level "HOLE" active and hit "DELETE" or any other tool appropriate which FormZ has plenty. Enjoy, Anton.

Tech Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Bobbku, Yes, as Anton notes, you don't want to revolve a shape whose parts are coincident with the axis of revolution. If you Delete the segment on the axis of revolution, and then Revolve, you should get a properly solid (as long as the end points of the open shape are on the axis of revolution). Does that do what you want? Anton, You really do NOT want to make a hole in the center unless you specifically want that geometry. Just move a copy of the "axis" segment, then Delete it from the source shape, and revolve... Then you will have a proper solid with no holes...

AHTOH Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Oh! Really?! Thank`s a LOT Tech. It was a pain dealing with those holes for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Atkinson Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Wow, this is new to me also! This is a great improvement to remember here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hi Bo, Well, this has not changed in the last 25 years. Glad you are up to speed on this now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Atkinson Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 25 years???? Really? Are we crossing dimensions or sometime ;0 I just checked with V6, on a rebuilt, 2012 Macmini... Well Tech, here is the result i spoke of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo Atkinson Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 PS- the ability of 8.x.x to cut and Revolve, all with one click is way ahead of V6.... I avoided the hole issues but also rarely Revolve per say. Thanks for such a great software with top grade support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
