From FreeCAD Documentation
  1. Initiate a Basic Operation as described above and set the Scan Type to Rotational.
  2. Note: Face selection is unavailable for Rotational scans, so changes to Base Geometry are ignored.
  3. Locate the Data tab and Properties View for the new 3D Surface operation. A Rotation section should be available with additional properties to adjust, listed below.
    It is recommended that you set the desired rotation properties all at once before recomputing. This is done by clicking the ENTER key immediately after changing a property setting. This process will allow you to change and save multiple properties before recomputing the operation.
  4. Adjust the following settings as needed:
    • Set DataCutter Tilt to the offset index(angle) [0-90]. (Used for ball mill cutters)
    • Change DataDrop Cutter Dir to the axis of travel for the cutter(spindle).
    • Change DataDrop Cutter Extra Offset to extend the BoundBox in the X and Y directions.
    • Set DataRotation Axis to the desired axis.
    • Adjust DataStart Index to start index(angle) [0-360].
    • Adjust DataStop Index to stop index(angle) [0-360].
  5. Click the Refresh icon in the tool bar.
  6. Wait for the results...
