I am trying to rotate a function around a variable axis to show my students how the solid looks and am having problems with the axis of rotation. Basic example: RevolutionPlot3D[x^3, {x, 0, 2}, AxesLabel -> {x, z, y}] However I want the function to rotate around an axis other than x == 0, say, x == -1. I have tried the RevolutionAxis command but it isn't working. Any help would be appreciated.
