Topic: Spin tabling?
Is there a word for the process of either spinning an object on an axis and producing symmetry? Kind of like a radial extrusion in a circle? Possibly even from a 2D shape?

Re: Spin tabling?
People have been spinning a flat piece of metal on a lathe for years to create 3d objects such as bowls lamp parts etc.
Just google metal spinning. can be done a metal or wood lathe or a spinning lathe.

Re: Spin tabling?
In 3d modeling, the concept you are possibly suggesting may be called revolving. It begins with a 2d drawing, specifying an axis of rotation and "spinning" the line drawing around that axis, generating a 3d object. Fairly handy for creating many shapes that would otherwise be impossible to build. SketchUp and Autocad both use the term Revolve, while other software may have another word for it.

SketchUp lets me revolve stuff? I'll check that out. Hopefully doesn't require paid version. I'd like to create a snake to produce the never ending story medallion.

For a snake you might want sweep, where you create a path in 3D and extrude a 2d shape along that path.

Re: Spin tabling?
I'd like to top that version. Maybe even add snake scales.
