So, I'd like to ungroup, I'll type in ungroup, enter, and that removes that organizational structure, so now we have access to the individual entities within this. Let's create a new layer and call it -AcornNuts, and I'll set that layer current and I'll change the color to cyan. And then I'd like to begin by joining, so I'll type J enter for join, I'll join this line, this arc and this line together, enter, that makes a polyline, and then I'll go to the surface tab and revolve that polyline, enter, around the axis which is defined here, I'll click this point and then this point below, and press enter, so that object that was generated goes on the current layer, and that's why it's cyan…
