A
Revolve primitive causes the cross-section defined to be rotated about the X axis.
The
StartAngle,
NumVerts and
Data parameters must be specified for a
Revolve. For example, rotating a circle displaced from the origin creates a torus.
StartAngle <Value>
| Parameter | <Value> |
|---|---|
| Range | 0-360 |
| Default | N/A |
| (R)eal #, (I)nteger? | R |
| Description | Begin rotating around X axis. |
EndAngle <Value>
| Parameter | <Value> |
|---|---|
| Range | 0-360 |
| Default | 360 |
| (R)eal #, (I)nteger? | R |
| Description | End rotations around the X axis once it reaches this angle. |
NumRevolve <Value>
| Parameter | <Value> |
|---|---|
| Range | > 3 |
| Default | 10 |
| (R)eal #, (I)nteger? | I |
| Description | Number of steps taken between the Start and End Angles. |
NumVerts <Value>
The
NumVerts parameter defines the number of points contained in the Data parameter.
| Parameter | <Value> |
|---|---|
| Range | v |
| Default | N/A |
| (R)eal #, (I)nteger? | I |
| Description | Number of vertices to be drawn. |
Data < x> < y> < z>
Each row in the
Data parameter specifies one vertex of the cross-section.
When defining a
Revolve, the
Data keyword must be on a line by itself. In addition, each point (defined by
<x>
,
<y>
and
<z>
) in the
Revolve should be on a line by itself.
| Parameter | <Value> |
|---|---|
| Range | any real # |
| Default | N/A |
| (R)eal #, (I)nteger? | R |
| Description | X, Y and Z positions for each of the vertices of the cross-section. |
