Description

If you want to create a surface by rotating your NURBS curve around one of the coordinate axis then this is the right modifier for you.

The selected curve will define the shape of your object. So for instance this curve

resuts in this

surface.

But watch out, if you translated or rotated your whole mesh this might produce unexpected results. So only work in point selection mopde when you want to create your outline-curve.

You can specify the number of steps to take while rotating, if you choose more segments you will get more control points.
Another option is to create caps at both ends as seen here

By specifying an angle less then 360 degree you'll receive a partially revolved surface:
