Revolve
This function allows the user to create geometry based off of a rotational sweep around an axis
Usage
Profiles
The selected profiles that will be rotated around the axis to create the 3D Lattice structure
Axis
The axis around which the profiles will be swept
Structure type
This refers to the unit cell structure that will be used to create the revolved geometry. For more information on lattice generation, read more here in the 'unit-cell' section
Revolve Rotation
This refers to the amount (in degrees) of rotation the revolve function will do (i.e: the 'portion' of the circle)
Revolve steps
This refers to the number of repetitions the profile will be drawn along the revolution. This can be scene as a 'resolution of sorts'

The revolve function can easily create sharp angles along the revolution which can be 'impossible' to build for some production processes. We recommend you run the repair function to prevent those issues
