To create an extruded shape by Revolution you need to define the source Object to rotate, the Axis of revolution and the Angle by which the Shape has to be rotated around the Axis (in degrees).
Both Directions checkbox allows extruding the source object both forward and backward.
The Result of the operation will be a GEOM_Object (edge, face, shell, solid or compsolid).


TUI Command: geompy.MakeRevolution(Shape, Axis, Angle).
Arguments: Name + 1 shape (vertex, edge, planar wire, face or shell) serving as base object + 1 vector (for direction) + 1 value (angle).
