dimension than the input ones. Boundary elements around generated
mesh of plus one dimension are additionally created. All created
elements can be automatically grouped. Revolution can be used to create
-a :ref:`extrusion_struct`.
+a :ref:`structured mesh from scratch <extrusion_struct>`.
See :ref:`extrusion_page` page for general information on Revolution,
which can be viewed as extrusion along a circular path.
