Revolve Q

Another thing ;)

Draw your profil view Front (first point on the ground)

Take the Arc by Center view 3D
Center is the center of anything you want
First point is the bottom of the Profil on the ground
Second point is visually interactivity moving backwards and forwards as you want (same than Rotation)
with snap with anything you want without input numeric value :)
Then Sweep Profil / Arc ;)

PS Seems that is quasi the same method of Marco above :)
