I'm trying to create a simple Revolved surface from a flat polygon, and I can't figure out how to make it work. There is no revolve tool for polygons. I tried using the "extrude face" tool with rotate settings in the option box, but it always rotates based on the absolute object center, not the object pivot point. This is driving me nuts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

mm. well, I'd draw a curve and revolve to polys.
Try a linear curve if you want them to be faceted.
you should be able to offset the center on your poly extrude revolve. hit the little circle with a dot inside on your manipulator when you have the extrude selected.
It is still easier to just redraw the curve but this should work if that aint possible.
That worked great. Thanks.
haha yea you can do that too ...duh, sorry I didn't think of it.
