Thanks very much for taking the time to show us this. 🙌👍

You're welcome!

Great video, thanks for sharing! This tool is even more useful when the revolve axis is not centered. Adding tolerance between the two bodies is another interesting scenario.

That small detail you've mentioned at the end is crucial, as revolving a sketch placed on the X-Z plane and revolving an object around the Z axis which has parts offset from the X-Z plane obviously won't give the same result. Thank you for your efforts.

I don't think the revolved body from the sketch actually creates the same shape. The distance of the furthest edges of your key is a diagonal distance created from the original extrude, so the swept diameter of that extruded body will be a larger diameter than the diameter of the original sketch. the point remains that it is a pain to do all that and the new feature is a great thing, I just wanted to point out the results are not identical in this case. The revolved sketch approach doesnt' create a body that is equivalent to rotating the body. I see now (after watching the rest) that you noticed it creates a different profile for the reasons I stated, but I do think it's important to realize that the two approaches have different outcomes.

Hi Bill, take a look at 10:14 where I talk about this. Notice that the projected sketch goes wider than the edge of the model to account for the rotation.

@@DesktopMakes Yep, that's what I was referring to when I said that you mention it later in the video. I had replied before I got to that point, so went back and edited my comment.

As a general rule, it’s probably best to watch the entire video before leaving a comment.

@@tgs1766 Man, I totally agree. I don't think it was totally clear that the two methods deliver different results, which was what I pointed out. I know the larger profile is pointed out later in the video, but it isn't totally clear at that point this means the first method produces a different results. Regardless, I subscribe to the channel and enjoy the content. My aim wasn't to nitpick, it was more to make sure that someone who didn't follow very closely understood that they were different outcomes.

@@tgs1766 agreed, but the two methods do not yield the same shape, unless with hindsight (10:25), he could have gone back and would have had to take the center line to the outer corners of each of the 3 horizontal blocks plus one from the centre to the corner of the centre column (pythagoras, so not immediately obvious to everyone) which is a fair amount of work that this tool solves.

Great explanation!!!!

Thanks Mike!

Great video. 🙂

Thanks Stephen!

Thanks for the video and explanation. When creating your key, why the multiple sketches? I like short timelines. I get it if they were complex step. Just my two cents.

[@DesktopMakes]

They key was made with only two sketches. The second sketch was needed because it was on a different plane. The only way to keep them on the same sketch would be to enable 3D sketching.

[@DesktopMakes]

Gave this another thought and I could have created the entire key in one sketch. The second extrusion would simply be from the center plane instead of the front face of the key.

[@lindseyjohnson1130]

Thanks for the reply. I continue to challenge myself in keeping my timeline as short as possible.

Nice video. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@Blackspire_Cosplay]

thank you for the video this was very informative. one question i did have and this might be silly or better know to the 360 community but how did you get the graphing lines to disappear and reappear as you need them?
