Problem with Revolve Tool
-
HI Guys;
I have a problem with the revolve tool.. i want to revolve an object to fit perfectly with other objects. Howether these objects aren't in the right blue/green/red axis and it's very very very hard to manipulate the revolve tool to obtain what i want.. (see the picture below).
Thanx for any help, tip, script or whatelse which can do that easily !
Thanx Thanx Thanx ! (And sorry if there is any mistakes in my english

Not to worry about your English. (Add a location to your profile so we can see your native tongue.)
I assume you're talking about the Qrotate tool. (Misspelled to remind you of the keyboard shortcut.)
Begin by File/Save As... and type a name like "ICanScrewThisUpBecauseThisIsJustACopy.skp". Then, before you tap Q, draw a little Rectangle in an out-of-the-way corner and PushPull it up so you've got a nice box.
Select the geometry you want to Qrotate. Tap Q for the Qrotate tool. Move it around your box. You'll see it flip axes (and colors) to adjust to the face it's on. When you have it as you want it, hold a shift key down to lock the orientation.
Still holding the shift key down click on the center point of the rotation. (Usually a corner of your selected geometry, but it could be someplace outside, too.) Click another point on your rotating geometry and now you are Qrotating!
