Morph Revolved Mesh dialog box

Elements
Select Elements Lets you select the elements that you want to morph.
Element Labels Lets you add elements to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of element labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the element labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of element labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add element labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add element labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Element Selection .
Axis of Revolution
Specify Vector Lets you specify a vector that defines the axis about which to revolve the elements.
Reverse Direction Lets you reverse the vector's direction.
Select Point Lets you select the point about which to revolve the elements.
Source Target Selection
Source Nodes Lets you select the nodes to map to the target curve or curves.
Node Labels Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection .
Define Target Curve Lets you select the curve or edge to map the source nodes to.Edge/CurveLets you select an existing edge or curve. You can also select a series of edges or curves.**Line (2 Points)**Lets you define a new edge or curve by specifying two points. The software associates the selected nodes to this curve or edge and moves the node onto the curve or edge during morphing.
Fixed Nodes Lets you specify nodes that define the radius of a region within the part that you do not want to move during the morphing process.
Node Labels Lets you add nodes to the selection.Use a space or comma to separate your entries.Use a colon or a dash to add a range of node labels.For example, enter 1:10 or 1-10 to add all the node labels from 1 to 10.Use colons to add an incremented range of node labels.For example, enter:1:9:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.1:10:2 to add node labels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10.10:1:-2 to add node labels 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1.Press enter or click Select to add your entries.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection .
Node to Point Mapping
Select Node Lets you map selected nodes to points on the target curve. The software uses temporary graphics to indicate the correspondence between a node and a point.
Node Label Lets you specify the node by entering the label of the node.Press enter or click Select to add your entry.To edit your selection, click Edit Node Selection .
Specify Point Lets you select the point to map a node to. The software associates the node to this point and moves the node to the point's location during morphing.
Mapping List
Mapping List Displays all current mappings.Click Move Up or Move Down to change the order of the mappings in the list.Click Delete Mapping to delete a selected mapping.
Preview
