    Hello Pohan,

     

    To create the a circular surface using spin option,  you need to a rotate a line with a pivot point and the surface generated is controlled by angles.

    Also, make sure your visualization is shaded.

    Hi Pohan,

    Then you can try creating circle  with the Geom>>lines option. Provide the circle center and radius so that circle can be created and finally you can use spline option to create surface.
