Adds a 3D polygonal torus to the scene.
How to use
1. Click the PolyTorus icon or choose the Tools > Primitives > Polygonal Volumetric > PolyTorus command.
2. The program console prompts Local axes origin.
3. Position the torus either by clicking and dragging in any view (release the mouse button to confirm placement) or by typing its XYZ coordinates in the console (values must be separated by a comma, i.e. 1,2,3, and confirmed by pressing Enter. If you press Enter without typing any value, the axes origin of the torus will be placed in correspondence with the XYZ origin.
4. The program console prompts Outer radius.
5. Define the outer radius by either clicking and dragging the Outer radius hotSpot or by typing the radius value in the console. Hold the mouse button down after the click to interactively define the outer radius value.
6. The program console prompts Section width.
7. Define the section width by either clicking and dragging the Section width hotSpot of the torus or by typing the width value in the console. You can interactively define the width of the torus by holding down the mouse button after the click.
8. The program console prompts Section height.
9. Define the section height by either clicking and dragging the Section height hotSpot of the torus or by typing the height value in the console. Hold the mouse button down after the click to interactively define the height of the torus.
