Lathe Solid

Draw | Solid from Curves | Lathe Solid

A closed sketch region can be used to create a suitable profile which can be revolved about an axis to produce a solid.

The axis of revolution can be offset from the profile to create a hollow center.

In the example below, a profile will be ‘lathed’ about the axis shown.

Lathe axis offset from profile

The lathe axis was offset from the profile thereby creating a hollow through the center of the solid, shown below.
