Draws a torus as a 3D mesh surface.
Accessing the Command
command bar: ai_torus
menu bar: Draw | Meshes | Torus
toolbar: Draw 3D |
: ai_torus
Prompts you in the command bar:
Center of whole torus: <0,0,0> (Pick a point, or enter coordinates.)
Diameter/<Radius of whole torus>: (Specify the radius, or type D.)
Diameter/<Radius of body of torus>: (Specify the radius, or type D.)

|
Specifies the center of the torus; you can press Enter to accept the default coordinates. |
|
|
Specifies the overall radius of the torus; note that the distance is measured to the center of the tube (body). |
|
|
Specifies the radius of the torus body, or tube. It is not necessary for the body radius to be smaller than the whole radius. |
|
|
Specifies the diameters of the whole torus and/or body. |
Grips Editing
Mesh-formed torus surfaces can be edited directly through grips:
Select the torus. Notice that it has one grip at each vertex.
Drag the grip to move the adjacent faces.
