Lathe Object

The Lathe NURBS rotates a spline about the Y-axis of the local axis system of the NURBS object to generate a surface of revolution, e.g. you can create a wineglass from a simple profile. The lathed object appears as soon as you drop the spline into the Lathe NURBS in the Object manager. Usually the profile should lie on the XY plane (because it will be rotated about the Y-axis).

A profile spline.

The result — a wineglass.
