Revolved Sphere

[giridhar_tech]

Hi People,


I have been using Pro/E wild Fire for the last one year, & I went for an interview where i was asked if i could create a solid sphere using a rotate sketch option.


When i tried it by Sketching a semi circle & rotating it 360 degrees it shows some error.


Can some body tell me why it happenned & what are the other methods to create a Solid sphere.





Regards


Giridhar

if by rotate sketch option you mean the revolve tool then yes you can create a solidsphere. You can either make your sketch a closed sketch by putting a veritcal line down the center to make a solid revolve or you can make a surface revolve and then solildify that surface.

You have to use the revolve tool, Sketch a semi circle and close it with a line, sketch a centre line coincident to the closed line, and revolve it to 360 degrees, you ll get a solid sphere.

This might be a very stupid question, but i have to ask; Did you gave it an axis of rotation? Sometimes I forgewt to do it.

I am extremly sorry guys, but please try it yourself, to understand what i mean.


try drawing a sphere by first drawing a closed semi circle with an axis. then revolve it 360 degrees. solid.


u will get an error message (i used pro/e wildfire II).


I tried all the above listed options.


Best of luck

Sorry, but it worksperfect for me on WF2, M120. Trylargerand smaller sizes and other shapes to identify the problem. Perhaps you could tell us your error message?

hey giridhar.......


I think your problem is with the axis............just try cliking on the axis followed by right click of the mouse & then click on the "axis of rotation" option.


Other than that I don;t think there shouldbe any problem.

Tried to get the error message and had no problems. Useing WF3 though.


Check to make sure you have your axis and that your section is closed.
