Lathe

The Lathe modifier generates a mesh object by revolving a spline on an axis.


To lathe a spline:-
Select a Spline   
Apply a Lathe modifier.

The spline is lathed along its central Y axis.
(you can use X & Z axis also in the direction group & align their axis to min., center or max.)


Now adjust the axis of revolution as needed.






















 (You can make these axes move freely by clicking the axis sub object of lathe in the stack display.)


Quote of the day,The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.
