Long name (short name)TypeDefaultFlags
radius (r) distance (double)1.0cmoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The radius of the object
startSweep (ssw) angle (double)0.0degoutputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The angle at which to start the surface of revolution
endSweep (esw) angle (double)6.2831853outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The angle at which to end the surface of revolution. Default is 2Pi radians, or 360 degrees.
useTolerance (ut) boolfalseoutputinputconnectablestorable
Use the specified tolerance to determine resolution. Otherwise number of sections will be used.
degree (d) enum3outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The degree of the resulting surface: 1 - linear, 3 - cubic
sections (s) integer8outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The number of sections determines the resolution of the surface in the sweep direction. Used only if useTolerance is false.
spans (nsp) integer1outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
The number of spans determines the resolution of the surface in the opposite direction.
tolerance (tol) distance (double)0.01cmoutputinputconnectablestorable
The tolerance with which to build the surface. Used only if useTolerance is true
heightRatio (hr) double2.0outputinputconnectablestorablekeyable
Ratio of "height" to "width"
topCapCurve (tcc) nurbsCurveNULLoutputconnectable
The curve that can be used for the top cap
bottomCapCurve (bcc) nurbsCurveNULLoutputconnectable
The curve that can be used for the bot cap
absoluteSweepDifference (asd) angle (double)0.0degoutputconnectable
The difference of endSweep - startSweep
