    'Spinning' paths in Max

    I need to make several fairly complicated tube like objects (cans, barrels, bottles etc.). I have an illustrator path of half the outline of the shape. In max (R 4.2), I remember there a way to 'spin' a path around, and make a tube like shape out of these paths (not thinking of lofting). Does anybody know what I'm talking about?

    your probably talking about LATHE...which takes the side profile using a spline..then simply creates a 3d object from that spline by SPINNING it around a center axis
