Hi all,

I want to get the maximum encumbrance of a solid in revolution around an axis.

The solid may have an arbitrary shape and I have to get the outer contour of the shape generated by the revolution of the initial solid around an axis.

Have any one an idea of how can i do this ?

I am interested in a solution to this problem as well.

Are you trying to obtain a 'turning' profile?
