Step 1
Next in the sketch environment draw a half circle. This can be done in various ways that all give the same result. In my case I draw a line and then by activating the line command again and holding the left mouse button I dragged one edge of the line to the other end. You could also draw a circle then a line from top to bottom (or left to right) and then trim the one half. Another way is to draw the line and then a 3 point arc using the center of the line as the arc's center and the two ends of the line as the other input points.
Step 2
When you are done click finish sketch.
Step 3
Then click Revolve in the Model Tab
Step 4
The profile to be revolved should be automatically selected. If not click inside the half circle. Then you should choose an axis for the profile to be revolved.
Step 5
Click on the line to select it as an axis and a preview of the revolved solid is displayed. By default full revolve is selected. You can choose an angle revolve or to another surface instead of full revolve
Step 6
click ok and you are done!
Hello!
If You will us Center line, you will may don`t indicate Axis line.
You also can make a cube and fillet it. Ex. 1in cube and and fillet both sides by .5in
If You will use center line for create sketch, you won`t select axis. :)
Nice work! Good luck!
