Bug ID: 156099
Summary: Rename "rotation object" to "solid of revolution"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: minor
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]

Description:
LO uses the term "rotation object" for 3D objects that are formed by rotating a
2D shape around an axis. However, that does not seem to be the usual English
term for this kind of thing. The term "solid of revolution" is used instead:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_of_revolution
"Rotation object" is possibly a literal translation from German:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotationsk%C3%B6rper
It would be better to use generally accepted English terms, though (unless
there are other more important considerations).
Steps to Reproduce:
