I’m having a hard time with the elipse tool, every time i draw one trying to make a disc shape by revolving it would not work. I have tried also by sketching the shape with other tools and got the same result. Why is this not working?? I need to make de disk to finish my design. ☹

Here are some pic of the issue:

I use revolve a lot so I don’t get what is going on.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Perhaps do half the ellipse, then revolve?

The revolving axis of the selected shape overlaps. Create a addition line to able to select the half of the ellipse. [Loom | Free Screen & Video Recording Software | Loom](https://www.loom.com/share/110e342baab241cd9a59dc71b9c5ebf2?sid=9eb20c70-35b5-4634-8cc7-ca839ee1f42b)
