Is there a revolve cut command?

I'm sure there is, I'm just too dense to figure it out. I'm trying to extend the upper hull extension of this Star Trek starship saucer model aft. No problem with that. But, then I want to essentially do a revolve cut, making the extension adopt the profile of the saucer edge. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Bob

PS. I'm finally getting the hang of MOI! Here's another Trek work in progress I'm working on using MOI that might, just might, be kitted up and sold at some point. We shall see. http://www.resinilluminati.com/showthread.php?t=16591 . If you've seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, this is the Reliant (Miranda-class), but as she might have appeared had she made an appearance in the original series.

Hi Bob, to do a "revolve cut" you just do 2 separate steps - build a revolve first and then use boolean difference and use that revolved solid you just built as the cutting object.

Does that do what you are looking for?
