Description

Creates a 3D polygon mesh in the shape of a torus. Choose from a combination of options including center and radius or diameter of both the whole torus and the body of the torus.

  1. Center
  2. Diameter of the whole torus
  3. Radius of the whole torus
  4. Radius of the body
  5. Diameter of the body

Methods

There is one method to begin creating a torus:

  • Center of whole torus

Option within the command

Center of whole torus
Specifies the center of the whole torus.
Set Radius of whole torus
Specifies the overall radius of the torus. The radius is measured from the center of the whole torus to the outer edge of the body (tube) of the torus.
Diameter (of whole torus)
Specifies the diameter of the whole torus. The diameter is twice the distance from the center of the whole torus to the outer edge of the body (tube) of the torus.
Set radius of body of torus
Specifies the radius of the body (tube) of the torus.
Diameter (of body of torus)
Specifies the diameter of the body of the torus.
Segments around body of torus
Specify the number of isolines, perpendicular to the xy-plane, used to simulate the torus’s curved surface. The default is 16.
Segments around whole torus
Specifies the number of isolines, parallel to the xy-plane, used to simulate the torus’s curved surface. The default value is 16.
