Spin
Spin is used to simulate the creation of objects on a lathe.  A lathe is
machine for shaping a piece of wood, metal etc.  by hold and turning it
rapidly against a cutting edge; this carves a symmetrical shape.  You must
first create a`cross-section`outline.  Spin creates sections by turning the
outline along its Z`axis`.

Spin Angle
Spin Angle is the amount of`rotation`that will be used to spin the outline
around the Z`axis`.  Any value less than 360 (degrees) will create an open
object.

# of Sections
This sets the number of sections that will be created as the outline is
spun around the Z`axis`.
