- Access
- Go to .
Options
- Merge input lines
- Merge input lines into a smooth line to create a continuous surface.
- Spin start angle
- Specify the start angle that defines the initial angle before the geometry is spun. The angle is measured about the axis of rotation using the right-hand rule.
- Create in
- Select which component newly creates surfaces/solids are placed in.
- Merge solids at shared surfaces
- Create a single solid with merged faces at the shared edge locations.
