You do not HAVE to use the right side of the left side.

You actually choose around which axis you want your EP curve to revolve: enter image description here

If you have a curve like this one: enter image description here

You can revolve around X-axis: enter image description here

You can revolve around Y-axis: enter image description here

You can revolve around Z-axis enter image description here

Or you can revolve around a freely defined axis (1,1,-1 here): enter image description here
