Revolve help!

[Contagon]

Alright, got another noob question. I've got my sketch that I want to revolve around the x-axis. (See below) Except when I do it's always as a surface instead of a solid. It also says "Unable to revolve 1 selected object." This object is the line on the x-axis. Anyone know how to fix this?

Your profile needs to be one continuous Polyline in order to create a Solid. Use the PEDIT command to join all line segments and then try REVOLVE again.

It's worth mentioning that it needs to be a closed polyline to form a 3Dsolid (if I'm not mistaken). You can do this in the PEDIT command too, or in object properties (it's on a drop down there somewhere).

Not necessarily. If the starting and ending points of the polyline are on the center axis of revolution, a solid will be created without having to close the polyline. But if one, or both, or the endpoints are not on the center axis, a Surface (Revolve) will be created.

Thank you for the PEDIT Command. I thought that just because all my corners were intersecting and NOT overhanging that my sketch was closed. With the PEDIT Command I was finally able to do a revolve in ACAD 2004.
