Creates a 3D Solid in the shape of a torus. Choose from a combination of options including center and the radius or diameter of both the whole torus and the body of the torus.
  1. Center
  2. Radius of the whole torus
  3. Diameter of the whole torus
  4. Radius of the body
  5. Diameter of the body

Methods to create a torus

This command has 1 method to begin creating a torus:

  • Center of whole torus
Center of whole torus
Begin creating a torus by specifying its center then:
Set radius of whole torus
Specify the overall radius of the torus. The radius is measured from the center of the whole torus to the center of the body (tube) of the torus.
Additional option: [Diameter]
Set radius of body of torus
Specify the radius of the body (tube) of the torus.
Additional option: [Diameter]

Options within the TORUS command

After you begin creating a torus, the following options may be available:

Diameter (of whole torus)
Specify the diameter of the entire torus. The diameter is twice the distance from the center of the whole torus to the center of the body (tube) of the torus.
Diameter (of body of torus)
Specify the diameter of the body of the torus.
