Extrude around an axis

Hello,

Can I do a rotational extrusion with COMSOL?

i.e. extrude an object along a path defined as a circle around an axis (but such that each point describes a circle of radius equal to the distance between that point and the axis).

An example would be drawing a circle of on a work plane, then extruding it 360 degrees around an axis to make a torus (I don't want to model a torus, it just serves as an example).

I'm told this is a fairly standard option in other 3D modelling programs such as photoshop extended and rhino - so does COMSOL do this?

Kind regards,
Dominic.

I think what you mean is a revolution?? If it's that, it the button right below "extrude"

Start by drawing an object in a workplane then use the revolve option.

Haha, I'm sorry i wasted your time - that should have been obvious.

Thanks very much guys, apologies for the dumb question.
