LENSCAP Part - Revolved Thin Cut Feature

The Revolved Thin Cut ~ feature removes material by rotating

a sketched profile around a centerline.

The Right Plane is the Sketch plane. The design intent requires

that the Revolved Cut maintains the same Draft angle as the

Extruded Base feature.

Utilize the Convert Entities Sketch tool to create the profile.

Small thin cuts are utilized in plastic parts. Utilize the Revolved

Thin Cut feature for cylindrical geometry in the next activity.

Sweep Cut Example

Utilize a Swept Cut for non-cylindrical geometry. The semi-

circular Swept Cut profile is explored in the project exercises.
