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.
