So I had some spare time for a change and decided to implement the Lathe function into DeleD. This function rotates a polygon a certain amount of degrees (usually 360) around an axis and creates polygons in between the edges. You can choose any edge of the polygon to serve as axis. Early screens:

Still got some work to do though but Lathe will be available in the next version of DeleD. Smile

Schweet!

Now, if the plug-in architecture was only rich enough to allow one to do that as a plug-in... (getting the edge selection, putting buttons in the toolbar, etc) :-)
