Part Revolve parametric axis link

[DeepSOIC]

Since 0.17.8172, Part Revolve can use arbitrary line or edge from the model as revolution axis, and establish parametric link to it.

The edge can be a line, or a circle/arc. If arc of circle, and angle of Revolve is set to zero, the angle span of the arc is used.

Also, symmetric option was added (functions like PartDesign's Symmetric to plane).


Enjoy

Nicely done!

Thanks DeepSOIC!

I wanted to give it a try but it seems that the layout of the task panel is broken for me.

The spinboxes are too small. I'm using KDE.

Oh, how was I supposed to know....
That Qt designer... I hate it.
Can you fix it, pleease? That probably applies to reworked Part Extrude dialog that is now stuck in pull requests...

And after so much time invested in all the Tasks sidebar related things!

Hi.
I've attached a patch that fixes it for me. Hopefully it does not break anything on other platforms. Please give it a try.

Thanks again for these new tools!

Cheers,
Mateusz

Thanks f3nix, the layout is still all right on Windows 10.
