Follow Me and Revolve

Create a form from a profile along a path or around an axis.

Follow Me carries a profile along a path. Revolve turns a profile around an axis. These tools use different geometry and picking steps; prepare the profile and path or axis before applying them.

1

Prepare a Follow Me profile and path

Draw a closed cross-section and a supported path. Activate Follow Me, pick the profile and then the path. Where a ready profile is selected in the guide, the tool asks for the path directly.

2

Create the Follow Me form

Click the intended path when the guide asks for it. The supported form is created from the profile and path. Inspect it before continuing; an unsuitable profile/path pair may refuse creation.

3

Prepare a Revolve profile

Choose Revolve and pick a supported closed profile. Set the axis option and angle in the Tool Guide. The available axis choices include a profile edge, a picked two-point axis or an upright axis where offered.

4

Choose the axis and angle

For a picked axis, follow the current guide instruction to choose it. Enter the angle in degrees and press Enter where requested. An edge-axis revolution can be created directly on the profile pick, so configure its settings first.

5

Review, edit or undo

Inspect the created form. Use its available Edit profile controls to change supported profile settings after creation. Esc cancels the current uncommitted picking stage; Undo reverses creation.
