🐞 Description of the bug

Hi ,

When trying to generate a surface from an open curve , revolve fails

📝 Steps to reproduce

solder_barrel_sketch = Sketch(solder_barrel_plane)
solder_barrel_sketch.arc_from_start_center_and_angle(
start=Point2D([0, 0]),
center=Point2D([-0.25, 0.2918]),
angle=Angle(98.82, unit=UNITS.degrees),
clockwise=False,
)
solder_barrel = component.revolve_sketch(
"solder_barrel",
solder_barrel_sketch,
UNITVECTOR3D_Z,
Angle(360, unit=UNITS.degrees),
Point3D([0, 0, 1.0082]),
)

Hi @agvarghe - this is expected. The method revolve_sketch only works (at the moment) with closed sketches. Implementing support for open sketches to performs a sweep operation is possible but I would not classify it as a bug. Rather as an enhancement. I am on vacations right now but I can resume work on this front once I come back.
