Bobzy20 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi I seem to be having trouble revolving this object to create a wheel shape, basically I’m following this tutorial on YouTube: The user is working with SolidWorks but I thought I would give it ago in AutoCAD. In the tutorial he uses the Revolve command using the centre axis but when I tried this in AutoCAD it says: Unable to revolve the selected object - Cannot revolve a self-intersecting curve. If anybody can help me with this that would be great. Maybe I can use a different command like Sweep. Thanks Bobzy20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Most probably the contour is overlapping in some parts; explode it and by successively erasing elements will see where the problem is. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobzy20 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Wow cheers msasu, turns out a had 2 lines over the top of each other which must have been stopping the Revolve command. I must remember that the things I draw aren’t always right as that didn’t even enter my head! Anyway thanks very much Bobzy20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
