Revolve axis clarification
I don't seem to understand the logic behind the direction of revolving an object.
When I look at, say, a front view, to me up is Y and X is width, Z is moving away from me, However if I have a disk shape (As shown in the A3CD manual pg 23) and request a revolve to make a torus, the revolve dialog box needs to set to Y which to my thinking is up, however it revolves correctly with the Y setting, meaning to me it is not revolving upward at all, but away from me (Or possibly toward me, not sure). An explanation would help. Thanks :?: |
