Can't revolve this elipse

Can't revolve this elipse

Can't revolve this elipse

(OP)
Hi all,

Can anyone tell me why this elipse won't revolve?

RE: Can't revolve this elipse

It works for me if I revolve it around the horizontal line, but not the vertical centreline.
Trim the sketched elements vertically (to create half of what you have shown) and the revolve will work.

I'm sure we could revolve what you show in previous versions, but maybe SW09 has been 'enhanced' to include this limitation.

thanks guys. I can't believe I forgot how to use the revolve tool momentarily.  

RE: Can't revolve this elipse

Eltron,

Were/are you able to revolve the profile around the vertical centreline? (creating an elliptical dome)
