    In the conceptual design environment, a revolve is created from a line and a 2D shape that are drawn on the same work plane. The line defines the axis around which the shape is revolved to create a 3D form.

    If you are creating a component family using a template other than a massing or adaptive component template, see Creating a Revolve.

    NoteIn Step 2, you can create a surface revolve using lines that do not form a closed loop.
    1. Draw a line on a work plane.
    2. Draw a closed profile on the same work plane next to the line.
    3. Select the line and the closed profile.
    4. Click Modify | Lines tab Form panel Create Form. See Accessing the Create Form Tool.
