The Lathe tool is used to create models of bottles and pots. To create an object with the Lathe tool first a cross section of half of the pot must be drawn, as shown in the image below. Once the cross section is complete go into the object hirearchy in the right hand tab and select the Affect Pivot only tool. With this selected you will be able to move the point at which the cross section drawing will rotate around.
With the cross section drawn and the pivot point moved into place select the lathe tool which is found under the modify section and from the modify list select the lathe tool. The model may not look right straigth away so just select the a different axis until the the model looks as it should.
