We study trisections of 4–manifolds obtained by spinning and twistspinning 3–manifolds, and we show that, given a (suitable) Heegaard diagram for the 3–manifold, one can perform simple local modifications to obtain a trisection diagram for the 4–manifold. We also show that this local modification can be used to convert a (suitable) doubly-pointed Heegaard diagram for a 3–manifold/knot pair into a doubly-pointed trisection diagram for the 4–manifold/2– knot pair resulting from the twist-spinning operation. This technique offers a rich list of new manifolds that admit trisection diagrams that are amenable to study. We formulate a conjecture about 4–manifolds with trisection genus three and provide some supporting evidence.
