Thanks, Margus, for replying to my post.  What I have
done so far is to use the prism and revolve it.  What I
have to ask now is this:  Is there a way to use 80 of these
and union them together (so there are no artifacts - I want
it to look like a smooth surface like an sor object).   I
used the code below but need to somehow union them
together (I have thought and thought but have no idea
where to go from here).

Thanks for your help!
