Enabling this option highlights closed sketch profiles, and allows you to use them to create features. Note that if you\u00a0<strong>don&#8217;t<\/strong> have this option enabled, you will\u00a0<strong>not\u00a0<\/strong>be able to use your sketch profiles to create features. Enabling &#8220;Show Profile&#8221; allows that closed profile to be selected, and now the revolve works with no problems.
